President Obama has been accused of being a secret Socialist, a secret Muslim, even a secret Republican.
But now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has thrown in a new charge: that Obama is a secret ... well, we'll let you decide.
OK, so McConnell was technically calling Obama's speech flowery, not the man himself.
But still, words have meanings. How long will it be before we seeing leading Republicans describing Vice President Joe Biden as "limp-wristed" (look for Jim Bunning to lead that charge), ripping White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel as "spritelike," or attacking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "effeminate?"
