And come on now.....Snake Charmer? So many uses how can you take that from us?

Well, we all appreciate the effort. Have one for me. Oh wait, sorry, DON'T have one for me. Keep that wagon rolling.

Is Crazy Uncle out as well?

When states don't count -- which happens pretty frequently, as you know -- is it still okay to offer colorful speculations about *why* they don't?

I hear they're taking Sinbad away from us, too.

It just may not be worth going on with this. Goodbye, cruel blog.

**Liar?

No, no, no! Since you've all implicitly agreed I get to be the gatekeeper for the day, let me clarify:

Funny? Totally acceptable
Predictive? Onward, good posters
Colorfully speculative? Encouraged!
Fictional impressions? Wildly applauded!
EXCELLENT NEWS? EXCELLENT NEWS TO ME!

However:
Cliched, hackneyed, insulting (with no creativity) or downright dumb? Boooooooo.

"Liar" and "Obamabot" should totally be on the list. Where's the edit function? Oh right, TPM totally drank the Kool-aid and threw it under the bus. Racists.

I must agree that some of the adjectives used to describe the candidates and their supporters are offensive and somewhat juvenile, if not idiotic. So perhaps we should all endeavor to be just a tad bit more "politically correct" in our comments.

That our charming snake of a prevaricator, whose 35 years of experience in engaging in the "politics of personal destruction" should be forgiven for her astute observations of the color of her opponent's skin and how that characteristic might be exploited in the pursuit of votes.

We must, in fairness, also learn to appreciate her discriminating eye in assessing which states and people are important, and which are not. It is, after all, an attribute that must have proved to be useful in her many years of distinguished service as a diplomat, winning the peace in Ireland, achieving civil liberties for women in China and the middle east, and ascertaining that Rawanda receive the attention its distinction deserved.

Nor should we fault her public embrace of NAFTA and normalizing trade relations with China, major accomplishments claimed by her husband's administration, since we've been assured that behind the scenes she actually opposed shipping millions of American jobs overseas.

As a loyal Democrat, I never want to suggest that another Democrat is untrustworthy, dishonest, or traitorous. I believe it's much more important that we simply point out the facts and allow people to draw their own conclusions and apply their own adjectives.

"Stop Snitchin'"

OOOH! OOOH! I've got one:

"I Misspoke."

Momentum or especially "Big Mo". For that matter, pretty much any phrase you hear Wolf Blitzer or AC-360 repeat over and over. In fact, that's a great clue: If the phrase is uttered repeatedly on cable news, in headlines or by candidates and/or their surrogates it should probably never be repeated.

References to John McCain that don't include a reference to his age.

This should be banned:

"John McCain said that he doesn't know anything about economics."

This is acceptable:

"John McCain, 847, said that he doesn't know anything about economics."

Not that it is used here, but I really hate it when people say

"The Democrat Party"

and the interviewer or talking head just lets it go. It is an insult, and they should be challenged every time they use it.

"Pimping out Chelsea".

A guest on Dan Abram's show tonight said it AGAIN.

Hey you forget "snake oil salesman", started here but really catching on. Better stop it now

"insignificant" and/or "significant" when referring to geographic regions

ownership of hybrid automobiles

sandals manufactured in Germany (especially if worn with socks)

"Hussein in the membrane" ... well, ok, that can stay

"it's 3am ...."

Forgot a biggie:

inferring that you and/or your grandma are "post-racial"

let's stop saying that it is bad for Democrats for this contest to continue.

It's Ok to say "yes we can'. Clinton can use it, not just Obama, because Cesar Chavez made it his and his heirs, Dolores Huerta and his grandson are for Hillary.

"yes we can" defeat republicans. How about a little less time spent worrying about this contest- if your state has voted already-- and help out a red-to-blue democrat! near you or online.

if you need one --support war hero and brilliant leader, Charlie Brown in CA-04. we need our democratic presidential team to be able to pass the needed bills to reverse bush/cheney fast.!!

As a gifted officer in the air force, Charlie was in charge of the flights over Iraq under Clinton and GW Bush. HE knew Bush was lying to take us into war. He almost won in '06. He's now being challenged by a big time rigid right republican creep, Tom McClintock, after john Doolittle dropped out. We need him to help end this war the right way.

My only request: Please don't prohibit "Kitten Climbing Into a Basket"!

Also, STOP THE MADNESS OF THE CAPITOLS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"There is plenty of blame to go around". That is one that a guilty political person or party usually falls back on.
Try using that as a defense before a judge and jury.

You know, I'd love to stop but the Lewinsky-trashing snake who's thrown the Democratic Party under the bus wants you all to drink the Kool-aid and follow her, pied piper-like, into her high stakes race card game. B*tch.

I can't quit Bros before Hoes...I just cant....

"Well, you know" . Please Hillary, stop stop saying that, because Well, as it turned out, with your Bosnia Trip BS, when you said Well, you know, you were actually trying to make sure that, Well, we would not know.
