The problem:
The phrase "I misspoke" is losing its value as a way of dealing with excessively honest explanations of Republican policy. For a time it fooled the public into believing that the offending words had been a genuine slip of the tongue, but now it is understood as a simple request for a mulligan, i.e. "I did not realise how unpopular our policy would be; let me un-say it and we shall never speak of it again".
Our advice:
(1) Buy Disneyland.
(2) Hold all future press conferences in the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Candidates should refuse to answer questions until the journalists are all safely seated within the tea-cups assigned to them, with the doors secured, whirling around in a dizzy haze of nostalgia for their long-lost childhoods. Candidates may or may not be dressed in a Dormouse or Mad Hare fur-suit, depending on personal tastes. Beer and stronger drinks should be available.
(3) When the next controversy inevitably erupts...
