    All the Vice President’s Men

    DateWednesday, October 26, 2005 at 09:09AM

    iamnotacrook.jpgQuote:  "What did the vice president know, and when did he know it?" CBS News Correspondent Bill Plante, at a press conference with President Bush.

    Figure of Speech:  pysma (PISS mah), the figure of multiple questions.

    Bill Plante couldn't wait to ask the same question Sam Donaldson did, back in the good ol' days of Watergate.  The pysma is a nasty little figure, because it requires a nearly impossible set of answers.  Ordinarily it involves more than two questions.  But, hey, Cheney's got enough problems already.

    Snappy Answer:  "Wipe that grin off your face."
