I enjoyed this week's theme, but couldn't help feeling it would have been more appropriate several weeks ago, when the election campaigns were at their height here in the USA. We were bombarded with multiple, egregious examples of all of this week's words, along with obfuscation, vitriolic hyperbole, misstatements, verbal contortions, and just general (vulgar expression unsuitable for this forum).

A relevant quote: "English is the perfect language for politicians; one can talk for three hours without saying a flippin' thing." I don't know the author of this one, but any help in finding him or her would be appreciated.
