Old Mr. Buckley does the Texas Tommy in the family vault!

Whatever has happened to the National Review since the grand old days when the True Conservatives were at least literate is not getting better. Eliana Johnson at NRO comes up with a marvelous new verb:

California senator Dianne Feinstein reveleated on Sunday that she told the White House, in the wake of the botched rollout of the health care exchanges, that the administration should pull down Healthcare.gov until it was functioning properly but that her advice was rejected. “They believe that they need to keep it running and that they can sort out the difficulties,” she said. 

Does it mean she sort of reveled in the revelation, or that she was bleating as she revealed it? Then, on the subject of the If-you-like-it–Gate Scandal,

Though she indicated that she is murky on the details of the law, she told CBS’ Bob Schieffer that “I think that part of it, if true, was never made clear” and, with regard to an individual’s ability to keep the insurance he is, “It is really very unclear, right now, exactly what the situation is.” 

Yes, I'm sure Obama repeatedly or perhaps repeleatedly said, "If you are it, you can keep it."
