Buffenbargering
A little earlier, Greg offered this quote from the Machinists press release:
"I am appalled but not surprised by this report," said IAM
International President Tom Buffenbarger. "Working families cannot
trust a candidate who telegraphs his real position to a foreign
government and then dissembles in a nationally televised debate."
Buffenbarger!!
The guy's a hoot. I love it when he goes off the res like this.
Why do I get the feeling if HRC gets elected he'll be the Clinton administration's very own G. Gordon Liddy? That said, in the more likely scenario that Clinton does not make it back to the White House, I hope we can still work this guy's name into the popular lexicon (a la "Santorum").
I propose we come up with the some uses for this irresistible name. Verb, noun or adjective-- anything goes.
Best suggestion/definition gets, oh, I don't know, a gift certificate for a free venti skinny half-caf caramel mocha latte with extra foam.
A couple possibilities:
"Dude, that guy's talking shit about your commitment to the working class! He's totally Buffenbargering you!"
"I will not be Buffenbargered by someone who herself just came back from spending two weeks in the Hamptons."
