Inside the Denver 'war room', Dick Wadhams, chairman of the

Colorado Republican Party, quipped, "Just consider this the

Ministry of Truth." This ministry was first made famous by

George Orwell in his novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. It was

responsible for the falsification of historical events, like

the Democratic National Convention. Mr. Wadhams'

unconscious wit exemplifies Kinsley's Law, viz.,

"A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth."
