"Why can't you all just admit this is a big inside Washington story that got blown out of proportion?"
Vinth.

Talk about insulting intelligence.

You know what the word admit means, right? I can't 'admit this is a big inside Washington story that got blown out of proportion' because that' not what I think. I would hve thought that was clear by now.

To admit something yhou have to think it's true.

You can say "I can't understand why you think this"

You can say "Why can't you realize"

But the way you use the phrase "Why can't you admit", and you use it a lot is just wrong. I can only assume you don't understand how to use the word.

Would I ask "Why can't you just admit you're a moron?"? No. Becuase you don't know you are a moron, you believe you are not a moron, and that's evident.

I can say "What keeps you from realizing you are a moron?" That's a legitimate question and real poser to boot.
