What's the difference between "walking back" on a quote and "backpedaling"? Is there one? I have this notion that the latter sounds a bit more urgent or frantic. But maybe not.

When caught lying in 1973, Nixon's press secretary Ron Ziegler famously said: "That statement is inoperative."
Not true. Not false. Just inoperative, like a dead flashlight battery.

Recently, quite a few celebrities and pro athletes were said to appear on the millionaire luxury club "R I C H L O V I N G.C O M" to hook up with hot girls, ladies, models... OMG!!! Are these famous guys fond of internet dating for now?? Maybe they are indeed so rich that they feel boring sometimes to need new things? It was reported on MSN Charlie Sheen has found his girl there last May.
