A recent example may be instructive. There’s **doorhinge** , of course, but he’s the peanut of low-hanging fruits. Yesterday, in a thread about the French presidential election, and more specifically on the topic of the suspiciously well-timed release of potentially incriminating (whether true or false) information about Macron, our own **octopus** posed these penetrating questions: > [@French Presidential Election, 2017](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/french-presidential-election-2017/781294/111): > > > [@French Presidential Election, 2017](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/french-presidential-election-2017/781294/110): > > > > So you are in favor of PutinLeaks tilting the election to LePen? > > So Obama endorsing a candidate is not meddling?
