Dickey:

I'm sorry. You are being a jerk. Perhaps you have been drinking, or perhaps you are that way naturally. I am not defensive about who I voted for. I said, and will say it again, that it is none of your goddamned business. No defense involved, just a statement of simple fact.

Nor, as you put it, have I gone berserk. I do get annoyed at your covert needling, but that is a long way from berserk.

Thanks for the definition -- it matches exactly what I thought it meant, and is a primary tool of control exercised by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice and their henchpersons, their talking points, and their press conferences.

And, to a lesser degree, yourself.
