govern-meant

1. A term reflecting the excessive amount of spin, misdirection, butt-covering, and massaged statistics that come from our elected officials. Recognized by the fact that a spinmeister must "clarify" what a politician meant whenever he sticks his foot deep into his mouth.

VeeP Biden: "Swine flu? I wouldn't go anywhere in confined spaces."

Staff: "What the VeeP meant to say was..."

Another fine example of govern-meant.
