It already exists, it's called "spin doctoring". The Clinton case
is a good example. People who defend him repeat a series of
platitudes which make no sense. "It doesn't rise to the level of
impeachment" yet impeachment is clearly for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and perjury is a felony, clearly exceeding
misdemeanor. Only an idiot or a liar would consider the acts
performed as not constituting sex.
