Equivocation as an Art Form


God lord, the Right has achieved the impossible. They have created substance for the non-existent. Reality and form springs saying something exist. Coupled with qualifiers in the exercise of neutralsmanship, neutralizing the maximum of possible future risk, they make something out of nothing, turn night into day, and horse shit into ponies.

How tedious it is to be required to seek out the qualifiers in their equivocations. Ah, liars, lies and Bush and company.

1. WMD in Iraq for example?
I think the scariest example of equivocation as an art form was convincing 49 percent of the American public that George W. Bush was "presidential". Still scratching my head over that little gem.
