260. Surreptitious

Excerpt from, NBC News.com, by Garrett Haake, 9/17/12:

Mitt Romney said Monday evening that his comments about voters who don't pay income taxes were "not elegantly stated," but did not distance himself from the substance of his surreptitiously-recorded remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in May.

Surreptitious: kept secret, especially because it would not be approved of
