Excellent Wordsmithery
John Cole proposes, and I heartily agree, that the following term be entered into the lexicon of political discourse:
Gorejack: Main Entry: Gorejack (verb)Excellent wordsmithery, John. It's now in my dictionary.
Pronunciation: (g0r 'jak)Definition: To inject or invoke the results of the contested Bush/Gore 2000 election into any discussion of politics, political parties, or any other historical or social issue. Usually this will be used to demonstrate the genuine corruptness of either Democrats or Republicans. Whoever Gorejacks a conversation is assumed to have lost the argument, and the conversation is no longer useful.
Example:
This is not an administration that intends to allow something as feeble as the democratic process get in the way of their intent to rule on a perpetual basis. It wouldn't surprise me to see Bush simply refuse to leave office, either if defeated in 2004, or when his term (according to that little thing, the Constitution) expires in 2008. After all, consider the Bushites reaction to potential electoral defeat in 2000; their response was to simply stop the counting of votes.The Gorejacking in the previous passage has been bolded for easy detection. Note the hysterical and conspiratorial tone of the post--this is a good first sign that a thread is about to be Gorejacked.
Indeed, nice coinage.
to paraphrase one of Misha's readers when they read this, wath out form premature gorejackulation.

You guys crack me up!
I *do* love a creative coiner!
Can we trace the origins of asshat? That one seems to be a natural companion to gorejack, as in:
"I just can't talk about anything with that asshat; every time I try to have a discussion with him he completely gorejacks it."
Gorejacking is a Clintonian practice, very
Hillaresque.
welcome to the echo chamber (chamber chamber)
Kelley -- if I remember correctly, 'asshat' is a creation of Rachel Lucas.
Poor Gore.
You know, it had to be galling to lose a presidential election that was that close, by a few hundred votes ... in which there were problems on one ballot and hundreds of people voted for Buchanan instead of Gore. That's gotta really, really hurt. I mean, to come that close ... damn.
But others Gorejacked that discussion, too.
Al Gore can shave his head, suck on Tootsie-roll
Roll Pops, and star as a TV Detective on his own show.
GOREJACK
What I think is really ironic is that the ballot was developed by a Democratic Party comittee, used in a Democratic Party-controlled county, and Gore still lost! That's gotta hurt...
Actually the irony is that Nader helped beat Gore. If even 10% of the 30,000 people who voted for Nader in Florida had gone Democratic, we wouldn't be discussing this.
Thanks, Ralphie! Oh, that reminds me, gotta get that check to the Green Party in the mail. Heh.
"asshat" is from FARK.com. "gorejack" was originated by Laurence Simon at Amish Tech Support.
