OK, is a pentameter a device that measures the level of bullsh__ emitted by the Pentagon during daily news briefs.
The other day a reporter asked Sec Def Rumsfeld "are we winning in Iraq" (a loaded question) and he gave a rather convoluted answer. General Meyers then stepped up and opined that "yes, we are winning so far" or some such cheery generalization. (hey, that was unintentional, but it was a pun.)
While the question was the usual loaded, unidimensional BS, I can only wonder at how high the pentameter reading was during that press conference.
