A civility lesson for escaping politicians

  So what the heck is wrong with politicians? They know cameras are everywhere now, and EVERYONE always has theirs, so why don't they understand how to deal with it?
  Let's face it. Most citizen journalists/Tea Partiers aren't Jessie Watters of Bill O'Reilly pestilence fame. 
  Most citizen journalists are just fairly unskilled communicators, harmless people with cameras wanting a statement and to watch some politician squeaminess on camera so we can all laugh at them on YouTube.
  So what would nullify this intent to make you look stupid, which you do such a fine job of yourself? Well, if the escaping politician would 
1) not hold up their hands to block the camera 
2) would not just keep walking and bobbing like a hunted ferret  
3) not scream obscenities and verbal abuse aka/harrassment at the citizen journalist.
  Also, Mr. and Mrs. Politician, try not to be obviously avoiding the stink of the crowd. 
  Try not to withdraw in repulsion. 
  Try not to act like you're just so busy and important that you can't be bothered to smile and say hi. 
  Try not to act like a criminal escaping the police.
  Here're some things you CAN do.
  Be civil. 
  Stop briefly, smile (you know how to do that since you've practiced it in front of the mirror so often) and say something innocuous like, "Hi! How are you! Thanks for your inquiry but, unfortunately, I'm really rushed right now. I'll be glad to set up a time to talk to you. You can bring your camera too!" 
  Then hand the sweaty commoner a card with your office number on it and pleasantly, pleasantly beg yourself away from the camera and sweaty commoner. 
  As you go, say something like, "I so appreciate your interest but I have a group of blah blah blah waiting for me! I'm sure you understand!"
  This would look so much better on camera than running as fast as your fat little sandaled feet will carry you, glancing nervously over your shoulder and panting as if Gabriel himself were behind you.
  But wait. 
  Maybe he is.
  Anyway here's an example of how not to face the sweaty commoner with camera:
