The player doesn’t call the game. Also, you must play by the rules or be disqualified.

And now from tennis to the law, when you argue a case, you’d better not be caught distorting the facts. “Half a sentence”? You lied.

I would say, “you lose,” but, for me, it is not about that. It’s about “fairness”.

Well, most matches played in the world are actually self called by the players. If you've not played, you wouldn't know that.

Sara Palin is a gifted politician. Her love of country is as clear as a winter's day.

This is the only fully complementary sentence before he begins his turn to the negative. It should be one, not really two, although it works in most rules, one would have been better. He just wanted to punctuate his damning with faint praise.

He has a transition sentence where he says the obligatory nice things, but then kaboom, he slides into how bad she is. Sorry. Game. Set. Match.

:-)
