    "Putin's price hike"

    It seems as though Joe Biden cannot go for any 24-hour period without uttering the words "Putin's price hike." To declare that this is getting to be a bit trite would be a vast understatement.

    I can only guess that President Biden's advisors suggested that he use this phrase ubiquitously, so as to shift the blame as often as possible.

    The sad part is this: I can forgive almost anything if the offender will just fess up to the matter, and pledge to do better in the future.

    But if he insists that he has done nothing wrong--that others are entirely to blame--it becomes very difficult to forgive him.

    Biden reminds me of the six-year-old who pleads, "I didn't do it. Honest. It was the fault of someone else."

    I think Wizard's rules cover this but basically repetition is more important than fact.
