Jubilee shouldn't blame others when it has erred

In normal parlance, to eat your words means to admit that a statement you made earlier was wrong. In Jubilee parlance, it means, apparently, to substitute an earlier statement with another in direct conflict with it, but also maintain that this is what you have been saying all along. This in essence is to take people for fools.

Our government has perfected this art form, from the claim of terrorists burning mattresses at Westgate Mall to the ridiculous attempt to blame the Opposition for the Mpeketoni attack, both examples of callous acts of deceit perpetuated on the public by a government that could not care less.
