I am SO TIRED of this idiotic phrase popping up again and again in the press. Because Bush’s political opponents can’t prove that he misled the nation or pressured intelligence agencies, they’ve resorted to this lame playground taunt. On The Situation Room earlier, Wolf Blitzer asked Sen. Barbara Boxer if she thought the President lied to the nation about whether Saddam had WMD. She answered, “I never used that word. But I really think there was a cherry-picking of intelligence.”

It just makes me wonder what other childish playground slang the Democrats plan to inject into the debate in their desperation. For instance, did Cheney cross the line when he “talked smack” about critics of the war? Should there be an investigation into whether Israel was the “back-seat driver” behind the war? Or if you want to stick to basketball lingo, you could say that the Democrats are resorting to such desperate attacks because, despite not having a plan of their own, they’re tired of riding the pine.

Please e-mail if you think of more examples of stupid slang the Dems might use.
