Stumped On the Stump

It’s in the dictionary: disambiguate. It reminds me of Bush’s misrememberate, a word that always makes me hyperventilate and sometimes even makes me discombobulate. They’re words for those who want to circumambulate proven facts. Politicians overcompensate with sesquipedalians to overcompensate for ideas they’d rather not disambiguate. They also tiptoe as they circumambulate, or say, “Oh, I guess I must misremeberate. That liberal press just makes me discombobulate and more than once it’s made me hyperventilate.” It is not abnormal to hyperventilate when one’s stumped and trying to overcompensate while working so hard not to discombobulate, worried that someone’s going to disambiguate his harangue. Then he’ll claim to misrememberate, or convolute the truth and circumambulate it if he can. If he can’t circumambulate embarrassing stuff, he might hyperventilate, which sometimes causes him to misrememberate the lies he’s spewed. So then he’ll overcompensate and slip in some truth that might disambiguate the ambiguity and discombobulate his campaign. Then his hopes to discombobulate the electorate and to circumambulate the truth will be dashed. If folks disambiguate his thoughts, all he can do is hyperventilate, although, he doesn’t want to overcompensate and say he’s been known to misrememberate. The admission that he might misrememberate could lead voters to think he’ll discombobulate under pressure. He’d rather overcompensate by making up stuff that will circumambulate the simple truth and make you hyperventilate and just too distracted to disambiguate. Politicians overcompensate, misrememberate. If you disambiguate, they’ll circumambulate, discombobulate and then hyperventilate.
