This morning on The Roundtable on WAMC, I heard panelist Rosemary Armao say, speaking of Marco Rubio, "I'm searching for another word for impotent." "Hah!" I thought. "Paralipsis!"--not offering it as a synonym for impotent but as the name of the rhetorical device she had just employed, perhaps unintentionally.
