fairy-dusting

An act of protest in the name of Gay Rights where a hater is showered with glitter. For best effect, rainbow colored glitter is used while loudly announcing “STOP THE HATE.”
Sam: Saw all these Con-serves posting comments about what a criminal Robert Erickson is for fairy-dusting Newt Gingrich and his wife.

Ella: The irony--sprinkling them with glitter on he same day the story broke about Newt Blingrich’s enormous bill at Tiffany's.

Sam: Oh, maybe that’s why Newt was smiling in the photo–he must have thought Erickson was a Tiffany Rep declaring him their millionth customer.

Duggar

noun

The head hypocrite. A duggar not only rails against behaviour he gleefully does in private, but he leads the parade against said behaviour.

In Psychoanalysis there is a defense mechanism called reaction formation where a person behaves in an opposite way to his private behaviour, which is fueled by a repressed impulse. The duggar, however, is conscious of and delights in the forbidden private behaviour.

The orders of magnitude are thus: There is denial; reaction formation is denial on steroids; being a duggar is reaction formation on steroids.
Larry Craig was, for the most part, a hapless guy in denial, but Ted Haggard was a full-blown duggar.

misspalin

A misspalin is a misspelling added to a spell checker or the English Language.

Before Sara Palin refused to admit she misspelled "repudiate" as "refutiate", and then claimed that she was like Shakespeare adding new words to the English Language, there was no word to describe a misspelling willfully added to correctly spelled words.
When my son was in grade school, I had to go through the entire spell check user dictionary to remove all of the misspalins he had added.

political-polly-parrot

Often pronounced with a parrot squawk at the end (rahahk)

Also known as a triple-P

A political-polly-parrot is a person who:
1. Espouses the same right-wing talking points on any media available.
2. Gets all of his or her opinions from right wing media–mostly television and radio.

Both types of triple-P’s repeat the same whole phrases.
For example, on health care every triple-P was crying:

“Don’t cram this bill down our throats.”

“We have to start over.”

Reconciliation is a sleazy trick.”

“...Death panels...”

“...a plot to kill grandma ...”

“...27-hundred page bill...”
Sue: The political-polly-parrots-rahahk have done every dirty trick in the book to tarantino health care; now they are whining about ordinary House and Senate rules.

Bill: Yeah, all they did on health care when they had total control of everything is to pass an unfunded medicare drug benefit with a donut hole big enough to swallow up both grandma and grandpa!
