The President’s Press Secretary Tony Snow asked a linguistics question today in response to the Clintons’ criticism of President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s sentence.
Always eager to further the education of the White House culturally deprived, herewith a definition: Chutzpah is an old Ozark expression for the meshugas of taking a nation into war by lying, trying to discredit those who expose the lies and then, when one of the smearers is caught and convicted, sanctimoniously springing him for self-protection.
Gezundtheit, Mr. Press Secretary.
