You're right though, I should've, and Kucinich is dead on. Since he has a computer nerd wife, I think of them as literally and actually, the latter being pronounced in that Paul voice "Axxxxxxxxxxualleee"<BR/><BR/>As for Mike Huckabee, he was on Wolf Blitzer's show and he got blasted by somebody for voting for tax increases. His opponent said "one liners and a stand up routine won't cut it in Washington" HahaDrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040732049211414518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31410296.post-64952053397934153152007-10-31T12:58:00.000-05:002007-10-31T12:58:00.000-05:00Don't forget "literally"--the misuse of which remi...Don't forget "literally"--the misuse of which reminds me of Dennis Kucinich. Due to this explanation: <BR/><BR/>"Since the 20th century, Literally has been widely used as an intensifier meaning “in effect, virtually,” a sense that contradicts the earlier meaning “actually, without exaggeration”: The senator was literally buried alive in the Iowa primaries. The parties were literally trading horses in an effort to reach a compromise. The use is often criticized; nevertheless, it appears in all but the most carefully edited writing. Although this use of literally irritates some, it probably neither distorts nor enhances the intended meaning of the sentences in which it occurs."<BR/><BR/>I think that sums up Kucinich, "Although irritating to some, he neither distorts nor enhances..."<BR/><BR/>Also one of my law professors uses the idiom "chicken before the egg" when he asks us about an issue we haven't read yet--even though the proper idiom would be cart before the horse. That reminds me of Mike Huckabee--woefully oblivious and reticent of change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
