Confirmation We're Not in the Twilight Zone

Nats GM Mike Rizzo gets 'Ladson-ed' in a recent interview and doesn't know how to respond:

Ladson: Let's talk about Riggleman. Is he in a must-win situation?
Rizzo: You are asking a Jim Riggleman question during the second week of Spring Training?
Ladson: He is on a one-year deal.
Rizzo: Jim Riggleman is the manager of the ballclub. I have great confidence in him.

I'm always glad for confirmation that other people think Ladson is a clown.  A world where that's not the case would be the worst Twilight Zone episode ever.
