What's In A Name?

From the New York Times, reporting on President Obama's effort to rally House Democrats in advance of yesterday's health care vote:

Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, "Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit" Democratic voters "and will encourage the extremists."

It would appear now that even The One is using sexual slang to marginalize dissenting opinion.

Does this mean people can now start referring to the anti-Prop 8 crowd as "c**ksuckers" without reprisal?

You know I would have know what "teabagging" is if I hadn't seen an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Must tell the wife.

Just spell it cauxsuckers, as a play on that oh so clever "Faux News" term.

The neo-socs sure seems to have a fixation on our "sacs du progénitures." Could it be that they are so desperately lacking in their own?

"sacs du progénitures" No idea what that means but I can't stop laughing.
