Speaking as a former editorial writer and political columnist, one who has
talked with a thousand politicians and received press releases and position
papers without number, I submit no more profound truth ever was committed to
paper than this by Mr. Orwell:
"Political language--and with variations this is true of all political
parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists--is designed to make lies
sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of
solidity to pure wind."
