Roger Clemens' Gift to the English Language

Here is yet another example of someone using 'misremember,' apparently without irony. No one knew this word existed until Clemens (seemingly accidentally) used it in his Senate hearing in February. Hillary found it particularly useful when talking about Tuzla. Our society, which really likes to obfuscate the past, is finding 'misremember' to be very handy. Thanks Rocket.

obviously Clemens, and probably Hillary as well, didn't realize he was reference some pretty heavy hitters (pardon the reference) when he used the word.
