President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
How's that for a double negative?
Or . . . .
Nancy Pelosi and Senator Reid?
Another double negative.
In Math a double negative makes a positive, but in Washington, a double negative is a real bummer.

Double negatives occur frequently in English, but are not often not considered "grammatically correct" in text-book English. However, in many dialects of English double-negative usage frequently occurs, is the norm, and is considered perfectly acceptable. For example, the clause "she didn't give me no money" means the same things as "she didn't give me any money." They both mean the opposite of "she gave me money."
In text-book Spanish, double negatives are considered grammatically correct. For example it is considered grammatically correct to say, "ella no me dio no dinero," which means "she didn't give me any many" despite the presence of two negatives in the sentence.

Play out a skit, and whenever someone says a double negative (such as "she didn't not do that!" or something) the person will EXPLODE
