Bloomberg Maintains 'Maintain' Means Lie, Or Something

Around here it's Newsday everyday! Earlier today, Michael Bloomberg got all up in Newsday City Hall reporter Michael Frazier's face after the reporter used one of those catch-all reporter-words—"Mr. Mayor, you maintain that ..."—which Mr. Bloomberg thought amounted to calling him a liar. "Sir, the next time you want to insinuate that I lied, just talk to the press secretary .... Maintain is a word with an implication!" he said.

Is it? Azi has the video.
