 The phrase refers to stating one thing as being the

->in a Business Week interview Clinton re-affirmed his proposed tax cut for

I think you're having some trouble distinguishing between lying and
abandoning an unworkable position.  Or don't you appreciate the fact
that Clinton (who campaigned on a balanced budget platform) seems to
have managed to overcome the monster deficits that the paragon of
Republican virtue left us?

  And then there is the denial of an affair
->with Gennifer Flowers in 1992,

Denial?  Check your facts, low voltage.
