Political Addictionary's There Oughta Be a Word - Punditry

POSTED BY: Addictionary

It's time once again to play There Oughta Be a Word, the crazy, topsy-turvy game in which we turn the Political Addictionary on its head and ask you not to think up a definition for the word we provide, but to think up a word for the definition we provide.

This week's definition goes out to CNN's John King and his gigantic magic iPhone...

(verb) To spend hours upon hours on television discussing minute details of an event, such as an election, that could easily be summed up with a sentence and a shrug.

  7. The commentators are as boring as the candidates. They speak of change but about all they plan to change is the names of a few of the facist corporations controlling the American economy. If we want real change and something to talk about, then we have to consider Ron Paul who would rid the government of facist corporate control. Ending the Federal Reserve created by private Banker's and sending 35,000 lobbyists home is so much change that it is considered a Revolution these days. The Ron Paul Revolution could make the main stream News worth listening to, but then the military industrial complex, and the corporately controlled media might not like that. Indeed, Ron Paul is still in the Presidential Race even though most of the major media faslely reported that he had dropped out and have blocked him out of the News. What do they have to fear? Is it possible that Dr Paul who has served 31 years in Congress and written 8 or 9 books on major political issues, has the knowledge to free our government from corporate facism?
    Why are the POW's that were captured and held in the same camp as McCain not given any air time to tell their stories?
    What happened to the USS Liberty in 1967, and why are it's crew members so angry? Why has Captain Ward Boston Jr. JAGC USN (Ret) Senior Counsel to the USS Liberty Court of Inquiry, not been allowed to speak?
    If the main stream media wasn't so intent of pushing corporate and government propaganda, there would be all kinds of interesting things for commentators to say.

  8. Sorry about the previous overboard comment on my part for "succubanter". I mistook the defnition for a random link at first glance.

  9. Succubanter

    verb.

    Definition: to explain and repeat so long and often that one's life-force/essence is drained, like a succubus.

    (usu. in situations involving redundant news broadcasts via MSNBC, FOX "News" and of course CNN.)
