Pipe Down, Spy Boy

From the Department of Unintended Irony:

Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg sure could use a good dictionary. He seems very confused regarding the meaning of the word "conspiracy." From Tom Krazit at CNET News.com:
The head of the telecom giant seemed a bit irritated about Apple's march into the mobile phone industry when he answered a question posed by the Financial Times about Apple's chances of reaching the mass market with the iPhone 3G by saying, "There goes the conspiracy again. You're declaring them a winner before they've earned it on the field."
Let's consult Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:
Main Entry: conspiracy
1: the act of conspiring together
2 a: an agreement among conspirators b: a group of conspirators
In case that's not clear...
Main Entry: conspire

1 a: to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement
Conspire much, Verizon?
