cromagnum Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Oh. You're providing a link. What a...surprise... 732378[/snapback] I checked the dictionary..There is one entry for tarbaby, and it's as you pointed out ,''Bre'r rabbit and the the tar baby'' an Uncle remus story by joel chandler harris.... I'd post the link to dictionary.com, it's uncool for me to do so... There was also a good read on words and propaganda, at tinyurl.com.. I'm sure mitt used that word in a literary sense, and the left used it against him...Language can be a trap, for a politician.. And mitts spokesperson pulled a boston herald editorial from 04, where they used the tar baby reference to the big dig...
