Words Mean . . . Things
THE latest battle cry among conservatives, picked up from Rush Limbaugh, is: “Words mean things.” You may have noticed that it started cropping up in soundbites some months ago. Well, now it is the soundbite. I was dutifully watching the news when suddenly some triumphant Republican loomed up and gleefully announced, “Words mean things.” Just that, nothing more. I waited to find out what things words mean, but I had heard all I was going to hear. That was it. Over and out. Me gone.
