Is using the cavuto underhanded? Hey, I'm just askin' here

The credit probably actually goes to an unknown writer, but Jon Stewart coined the word "cavuto" on The Daily Show. It refers to a question mark put at the end of a sentence in order to make it appear that you're not asserting that statement, it's just up for discussion.

Neil Cavuto does this alot. The prime example is in this video, wherein he innocently asks the question if Bush is "The best President?"

I won't spoil the jokes, just go watch it.
