Thank you, President Bush, for distorting the meaning of the word ‘architect’. Thanks to calling Karl Rove the ‘architect’ of your 2006 re-election, there is a strange patina of negativity in the word, which I picked up again while watching a video of Dan Petrocelli, Jeff Skilling’s lead attorney, discussing the appeal. This happened:
Enron architect wants new trial? Really? Caesar Pelli, the man who built the Enron towers in downtown Houston, wants a new trial? Jeff Skilling, the former Enron CEO or President or Visionary is the one who wants a new trial. There are plenty of accurate descriptors to choose from. One needn’t try to get cutesy with ‘architect’ this and ‘architect’ that.
Jeff Skilling is not an architect.
or should we say, “pardon me, Mr. President, I think you might have mispoken. Oh btw, speaking of PARDONS.. WHILE YOUR AT IT, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND?”
: ) Good point!
Could we start a “Pardon Petition”? Who would sign? Let’s see, you… me….. anyone… anyone? I did receive a handy, dandy photo of Laura and George not too long ago.. Maybe that gives me some clout.
