Bounty for the Mutiny (of the Tongue, That Is)!
Ever since polling in 2002 showed that Americans don't like privatization, the privatizers in the Republican Party and allied conservative groups have tried to school themselves and bully others into not using the word "privatization" to describe privatization. They've even gone and edited their websites, in finest Orwellian/Soviet we-have-always-been-at-war-with-Eastasia fashion, to try to pretend that they never used that unperson of a word.
But every so often, they slip up. Kind of a mutiny of the tongue, which can only lie so often before the repressed truth comes spilling out. Josh Marshall is offering a bounty for each verified instance thereof.
Y'all know what to do. Google is your friend.
