Interesting turn of phrase...

[herveus]

The article in the Washington Post on Sarah Palin's move to Faux Fox "News" includes a remark attributed to Todd Harris, GOP strategist. "This gives her a platform she can use to stay relevant, to stay in the public eye and to flush out some of her policy positions." I find the use of the word "flush" curious. Perhaps he meant "flesh out", but I have not been able to find any evidence that the Post has misquoted him. Frankly, I think "flush out" is an unintentionally apt way to put it.
