Get the swift current mug.(n.) - A behavior of the mainstream media during an election campaign, characterized by a period of widespread silence concerning a news story that is severely embarrassing to a liberal candidate. The silence ends when it no longer shields the candidate from damage.
The Swift Boat Hush is named for the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth'. This anti-Kerry group began a major advertising campaign during the 2004 US presidential campaign on August 4, 2004. Most major newspapers (and the Kerry campaign organization) refused to discuss these charges until about 2 1/2 weeks later, when it became apparent to them that the charges were seriously harming Kerry in the polls.
Another example is the coverage of the 2006 special election in California's 50th congressional district, when 5 days before the election the Democratic candidate was recorded telling a group of illegal aliens that "You don't need papers for voting." Many major newspapers did not print this quote until after the election.

Get the Sweltering mug.The name given to fans of the country/pop singer/songwriter named Taylor Swift. They are the most amazing fans to her, supporting her through everything she does, and voting for her for award shows like the Teen Choice Awards. Most Swifties will stay Swifties forever. Well, at least I think they should. Taylor is lucky to have the best fans in the world.
See that girl over there in the Taylor Swift jumper? I bet she is a Swiftie. Anyway, she is lining up to buy Taylor's new fragrance "Wonderstruck". And I can see she is also buying the "Speak Now" album.
