There was a funny incident on Fox News Sunday this week... Chris Wallace was interviewing some government spokes-zombie about the Syria situation, who kept repeating himself with non-answers. Finally, Chris, after having rephrased his question for the third time and getting nowhere, said, "Well, you've got to admit there's a considerable incidence of mendacity here." The guy looked a little confused, but continued repeating himself. I half expected Chris to roll his eyes, but he was ever the gentleman, and didn't. The guy apparently never realized Chris had told him he was lying. <G> I chuckled about that all day. It's amazing how many word twins we have in English, one from Latin/Greek, the other (usually shorter and simpler) from German/Old Norse, and someone who doesn't know that can be easily "worded" to death by someone who does. But that one should go down in newsroom history.
