Hillary "misspeaks"

Here's a pretty interesting article explaining that in modern English usage, "misspeak" has two definitions- one is to accidentally mess up a couple words when speaking (like John McCain explaining that Iran was helping al queda when he meant other terrorist organizations), the other definition is to intentionally misinform.

From the article: "But it's a stretch of the imagination that it was a slip of the tongue because it was quite a long and involved story that went on for about five minutes.

"So if pressed she might say she was referring to the second meaning but she's hoping the first meaning carries through in people's minds."

Along those lines, a new video has surfaced proving she was actually telling the truth all along!
