The good people over at the National Republican Campaign Committee have a favorite punctuation mark, called the ellipsis. And they enjoy using it, mainly to make strategic truncations in a piece of text to make it look as if it says something completely different from its author's original intent. For example, the NRCC could take a movie review that read, "Gigli is a great big sack of audible farts," and repackage it as "Gigli is great...audible." Or, as they did back in September, they could make Representative Tom Periello appear as if he was intimating that all of the constituents he encountered at town hall meetings were racist. Well, apparently, they've done it again, and comically so!
