misspeak – v - To speak, utter, or pronounce incorrectly; to speak inaccurately, inappropriately, or too hastily.
When a politician or other public figure claims to have misspoken what he means is:
1) I inadvertently told the truth.
2) I forgot myself and said what I really believed.
Keep this in mind as you watch the carefully scripted, poll-driven, focus-group-tested mouthing of sound-bites laughingly called presidential debates.
