It's a Word -- It's a Phrase -- It's Right-Wing Neologue!

Now that we have that whole "Miered" thing squared away, I think we need to mine the political insanity of the past few weeks for even more catchy neologisms that will attract the attention of wire services and Drudge. We have to be quick, though. When Miami's electricity comes back on, Jay will have so many pent-up puns to detonate he'll be sucking the oxygen out of the blogosphere for weeks. I'll start:
