"When I use a word, it means what I want it to mean; neither more, nor less"--Humpty Dumpty to Alice

"When I said that we do not torture I did not mean that we do not do waterboarding, that waterboarding is not torture, or that torture is not torture. If I had meant to say any of those things I would have done so."
Or something like that.
by MajorFlaw on Tue Nov 20, 2007 at 01:22:31 PM PDT
Humpty Dumpty: When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less. Alice: The question is, whether you can make words mean so many different things. Humpty Dumpty: The question is: which is to be master - that's all.
Karl Rove may be a direct descendant of Humpty Dumpty. He thinks like him, and he even looks like him. A lot.

The question is, whether you can make words mean so many different things
Or perhaps mean nothing at all. Possibly the same thing.
by MajorFlaw on Tue Nov 20, 2007 at 01:30:24 PM PDT
That is the cruellest insult I have ever seen. H. Dumpty must be rolling over in his frying pan to be associated even in snark with such an evil creature. Please apologise to him immediately.
You can find him in the hotel dining room, next to the bacon.

Political significance In societies where the Freedom of Speech was not recognized as a right, the court jester - precisely because anything he said was by definition "a jest" and "the uttering of a fool" - could speak frankly on controversial issues in a way in which anyone else would have been severely punished for, and monarchs understood the usefulness of having such a person at their side. Still, even the jester was not entirely immune from punishment, and he needed to walk a thin line and exercise careful judgment in how far he might go - which required him to be far from a "fool" in the modern sense.

Dubya has taken us back to the Middle Ages. I said a while back that this was by design. Glad to know someone else has made this observation as well.
Ugh!
