Conservative blogger Berry Laker took hack reporter Kristoffer Engebretson to task after viewing this video released on Thursday by Rebecca Kleefisch:

Berry responds:

“Could we have a new definition in the Wisconsin politics? With some help from dictionary.com

Eng-e-bret-soned ?
[ing-a-brett-suned] – (I had to throw the Brett in there)
.
1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive listeners about a mother with child at a congressional listening session?
2. something intended or serving to convey a false impression and still claim no bias in story?
3. an inaccurate or false news report that will gain fame to any reporter even if no follow up or fact check of any said story is needed or done?
4. the false use or accusations pertaining to people attending congressional listening sessions with such words as “hijacked, “operative”, “opponents being planted, “hecklers”, “not affiliated with any party”?
5. Crossing fingers, legs, arms eyes when stating, ” I have to be objective”?
6. When all else fails, use the old, “my boss sent me there to find a plant” excuse?

Anyone want to add to the possible definition?” Source: Berry Laker: Engebretsoned

I’ve got another one, Berry. How about:

6. A bottom-feeding invertebrate, easily recognized by its trail of slime and the distinct odor of old, rotting copies of the National Enquirer. Feeds off the flesh of unsuspecting citizens with real jobs and the occasional civic involvement.

Also, my husband suggested a synonym for the verb form: “blish-whacked”.

Anyone else care to offer anymore definitions?

Hats off to Michelle Malkin for bringing this gem to our attention today:

Is this some Chicago phrase I don’t know about?

Is it just a nonsensical scatalogical reference?

Is this the teleprompter’s fault?

Maybe it’s some sort of SEIU code phrase?

Or is it a Hawaiian thing?

Can someone clue the unwashed masses in, please?

Via The Hill:

President Obama is betting on a more successful September than August, when it comes to his bid for healthcare reform.

At an online forum on healthcare held Thursday at the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Obama drew on his own political experience to predict better fortunes next month.

“There’s something about August going into September where everyone in Washington gets all ‘wee-weed’ up,” the president said.

Wha-what?

Frankly, Michelle, I’m relieved. Clearly, this explains the whole town hall uproar. Everybody’s just getting all wee-weed up over the healthcare bill (perhaps if the debate had happened in, say, mid-January, this whole misunderstanding would’ve just blown right over without all these messy protests). The good news is, it’ll all be over in September, just in time for football season (when the astroturf becomes astroweed, h/t Jerry Bader).
