Fox News liberal

Someone who claims to be a liberal or Democrat, but has positions and a voting record reflecting that of a conservative or Republican. See also DINO.
One who is often called a "Fox News liberal" is Alan Colmes, co-host (with Sean Hannity) of Hannity & Colmes; he is criticised by liberal commentators, including author and talk show host Al Franken, as weak and unable to effectively debate his decisively conservative counterpart.
That op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal is the weakest rebuttal to the pro-Bush article he was trying to refute. He's a milquetoast Fox News liberal if you ask me.

madre

Normally, Spanish for "mother".

However, in Mexico and in Mexican-American communities, the word mama is much preferred, even in formal usage, because madre is now almost exclusively used in an insulting manner.

knee-jerk

A spontaneous, thoughless, predictable and stereotypical reaction to something, usually an opinion or a statement.
An entire culture of American neo-conservatives has seemed to build itself on a type of knee-jerk reaction to any kind of criticism of the Bush Administration or the loyal element of the Republican Party, even from fellow conservatives -- the kind of pseudo-patriotism discouraged by Theodore Roosevelt.
