The Devil's Advocate

McGowan [sic] told the crowd she was ambushed by the question and was playing devil's advocate because that was her role as a political analyst.

"What I said then I said for entertainment value, because that was my job," McGlowan said. [More]
Yeah, right.

Seeing someone determined to keep a death grip on a lie is both disturbing and revealing. I think it's pathological.

Tea Partiers--cut your losses. Let her go.

I believe the "Tea Party" she's latching onto is the "astroturf" portion (the "Tea Party Convention")... These are the ones that are trying to parachute into the driver's seat after the train's already left the station. Exactly the same sort of corrupt politicians the REAL Tea Party movement started to fight...

Not devils' advocate. Just one of any number of devils. When they look and sound like they should be hosting a daytime talk show, they usually are of that caliber. I'll bet she has a membership with ANSWER and SEIU.

Bane. But who cares, long as they hang.

I think Dave Berry years ago had a skit about "teaching your kid to talk *wrong*" i.e. nonexistent words.
Don't do it. Same for anyone in public affairs or private for that matter. No excuses.
