Quote of the Day~The New Buzz about Rape and Equal, That's a Sweetener, Right Edition

Today, there are going to be two quotes of the day. It seems that in the excitement surrounding the Libby commutation, Republicans are just having too hard a time containing themselves in the midst of all the spin they are spewing and are letting what they really mean slip out a little more often than they normally do.

First slip:
“I think ‘rape and incest’ is a buzzword. It’s a bit of a throwaway line and not everybody who says that really understands what that means. How are you going to define that?” –South Dakota state Rep. Joel Dykstra (R-Lincoln County) on why the state legislature didn’t include those exceptions in its abortion ban, April 20, 2006.

Mr. Dykstra has entered the race for the Republican nomination to run against South Dakota's Democratic Senator, Tim Johnson.

Second slip:
" Well, I guess I don’t know what you mean by “equal justice under the law.”

Response from Scott Stanzel, one of the White House's propagandists, I mean, spokespersons to this question:
Q: Scott, is Scooter Libby getting more than equal justice under the law? Is he getting special treatment?

Of course you don't know what that phrase means, Scotty, you work for the Bush White House.
