Where’s Nan? [The 'Nansense' Edition]
Congresswoman Nan Hayworth has unexpectedly coined a phrase, “Nansense” while referring to US engagement with Libya. To wit:
“We have to be cognizant, and while there is no question, of course, of the engagement and the commitment that we currently have and we have to have a sense of priority regarding the expenditure of American blood and friendship,”
And on her website she’s updated her posting and comment policy. It now reads: [emphasis, mine]
Hello to all readers and friends! Our office reserves the right to delete submissions that contain vulgar language or personal attacks. Beyond that, it’s important to note to all readers and potential contributors that this is a forum that is meant to provide a voice in particular to our District constituents, though others are also welcome.
In service of the mission to provide a voice, we do, because we’re responsible for the page, have significant latitude to define what is or is not a valuable contribution to the discussion. Contributors whom we determine to be posting primarily to endeavor to dominate the comment threads, or to promote a particular political position via cant or invective, are hereby given fair warning that their posts are at risk of deletion. We welcome all points of view, but we will apply appropriate discipline to the process, in order to be fair to all who visit. Thanks for giving this due consideration.”
In other words, and assuming you can work your way through all that grammatical Nansense, her website is designed to provide only her point of view and if you choose to discuss yours, you’d best do it elsewhere.
