I REJECT the constant use of the phrase "I reject" by this administration.
Snotty uses it all the time.
I heard Chimpy use it lately.
And now others have started, even the Repug talking heads on cable news shows.

Today, it was two for one day:


Top White House and Homeland Security officials pushed back hard on Monday against criticism of the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina.

"I reject outright the suggestion that President Bush was anything less than fully involved," said White House homeland security adviser Frances Fragos Townsend.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he "unequivocally and strongly" rejected suggestions that his agency was preoccupied with terror threats, at the expense of preparing for natural disasters.

2. I reject that
this is used everyday by the thief or vice-resident. Whenever they don't want to explain anything they say "I reject....."

4. "I reject your reality and I substitute my own." is a quote used by
Adam Savage on Mythbusters.

But he got it from a really bad nerd movie - Dungeonmaster.

6. Or "from this podium"
or "ongoing investigation"
or "all the facts"
or "we're not going to get into that"
or "I'm a lying mutha"
