pod person

Someone who mindlessly goes along with the official dogma or party line. One who never questions ideas or statements or thinks for themselves preferring to passively absorb ready made sound bites and pre-digested ideas.

Since he became a born again christian he's turned into a real pod person. Next he'll be chanting and burning incense.

selective amnesia

Convenient forgetfullness when it's beneficial not to remember the truth. Often seen during jury trials when a witness is asked an embarassing question.

I work my tail off all year but when it comes time for my performace review the boss always seems to have selective amnesia. Mr Oswald, what were you doing in that book depository? Uh, I dont' remember.

quibbling

Quibbling is lying or avoiding the truth by trying to avoid the issue or dancing around the question by pretening not to understand it or arguing over semantics.

Okay Abe, did you chop down that cherry tree or not? Um, which tree? Could you define the word "chop"? You know what I'm asking, now stop quibbling and answer the question.
