Yeah, it’s a word they made up a while back, and they really seem to have taken a shine to it. Couldn’t tell you why.

I guess not, since they don’t know the difference between Pakistanis and people from Southeast Asia.

1. Cheney did indeed clean Edwards’s clock during their debate. As Robert Draper noted in his book, Dead Certain, whatever one thinks of George W. Bush’s intellect, he would at the very least read serious books and entertain serious arguments. Edwards would not do even that. Cheney–as Draper further recounts–nevertheless trained for his encounter with Edwards as if Edwards was the greatest debater of all time. The real Edwards was a pale imitation of the person Cheney trained to debate. The contest was no contest at all.

Well, I just don’t remember the clock-cleaning Cheney gave Edwards during their 2004 debate. Must have pushed the mute button for a second. Or maybe I was stoned. On one hand, I almost feel sorry for these guys when they make dumbass statements. On the other hand…Nah.

The jokers over at Red State have been inhaling the heady fragrance of each other’s farts for so long that they now mistake them for cologne.
