Huh?

People have been throwing around Orwell’s Animal Farm a lot lately. But this is truly Orwellian:

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn defended her decision to move forward with legislation extending term limits, saying the three-week process was not rushed.

Quinn also defended her flip-flop on extending term limits — she opposed the idea in December but reversed herself days ago — comparing it with the stubbornness George W. Bush displayed as president.

“Many of us, myself included, have been highly critical of our president. When facts change, he won’t change his position on different matters,” she said.

So you’re not George . . . uh . . . what was I saying? I think I’ve just been hypnotized . . .
