This is one of the things that Republicans like Jerry do that *really*
pisses me off.

They use a word in a completely inappropriate way.
Then, when called on it, they claim that they were using a *slang* version
of the word.

Then, like that's not enough of a lie, they go on to claim that some other
group uses it that way.

This same thing happened in another conversation about Valerie Plame - the
CIA agent who was exposed by Bush in retalliation for her disproving his
Iraqi WMD lies.

The Republican in that conversation said that she was not "covert".
Then, after some back and forth, he said she was not "covert" in the
"classical sense".

It would be *so* easy for Republicans to just say "I was wrong" or "I made a
mistake" - but it's just not in their character.
