Catching up with Editor and Punisher, I see they did a funny potty-mouthed (such an enduringly weird expression) "translation" of Amy Davidson's questions for Margaret Talbot from an online-only interview about her recent Antonin Scalia profile.
Davidson’s line of questioning is essentially a series of permutations of the aforementioned big question:
Davidson: Why is he such a polarizing figure?
Translation: Why do so many people think Scalia is such an asshole?
Davidson: Is it even clear that he believes in the separation of church and state?
Translation: Is it possible that’s he just a stupid shithead?

To her credit, Talbot maintains her equanimity, offering fair responses to rather tendentious questions...
