An un-creative nickname given to Wisconsin Democrats who chose to flee the state in order to postpone a vote on a controversial bill. The name "flee-bagger" is a failed attempt at a nickname by Tea Party supporters offended by the 'Tea Bagger' nickname attached to their group.
The nickname fails because there is a relatively well known activity called "tea bagging", but no such activity of "flee bagging". Thus, if a "tea bagger" is one who engages in tea bagging, that means a "flee bagger" must be someone who engages in "flee bagging", an activity that makes no sense and does not exist.
It's like that episode of Seinfeld where George tries to insult someone by using the term "jerk store". The insult failed because there is no such thing as a "jerk store".

Teabagger: "I can't wait to vote out those flee-baggers."
Sane person: "Huh? I understand the 'flee' part, but 'flee-bagger' makes no sense."

Get the baggler mug.Generally used by the hillwalking/rambling community in the UK, most of whom live in towns, who go off to the countryside at weekends just to set foot upon individual summits. One the individual hill is bagged, then they usually tick off a list of hills in a notebook. A bagger is one of those strange individuals who enjoys climbing hills just to tick off a list, and who was probably a trainspotter in the past life. They would gain more satisfaction from climbing a new hill in fog than they would be ascenting a previously climbed hill in good weather.
