Wait, so he's guilty of terminological inexactitude?

Darius Harris: Oh well, at least the liberal isn't eating his earwax anymore... on camera at least.

You have to be careful trying to apply American partisan lingo to the rest of the world. In Australia, the Liberal Party is the party on the right.

Sir Humphrey: Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple, and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifying assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated, and the facts insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated is such as to cause epistemological problems, of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.

Jim Hacker: Epistemological, what are you talking about?

Sir Humphrey: You told a lie.

Hillary can use that same phrase a million time if she, God forbid, becomes President next year.

You know it suddenly occurs to me there actually is a single large difference between Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush. If she used the phrase she would actually pronounce it correctly. Huh..

"Could I be rude and put it off until next year?"

Hillary uses this phrase every time Bubba wants some sugar from her.

Actually the use of the word lie and it's derivatives is forbidden in Australian politics.
