DUer makes the Pundit Pap at American Politics Journal
Edited on Sun Mar-14-04 06:13 PM by frank frankly

Steph then shifted to the failure to find WMDs in Iraq -- and Ted Kennedy's charge that there is a "credibility gap." Powell gave the mandatory "That's what we believed, the intelligence was not cooked" boilerplate answer. (One wag over at Democratic Underground said that's true -- they selected "raw" intelligence that had not been subject to proper review and voilà! WMDs in Iraq)

--------------------------------

on EDIT: the weekly Pundit Pap at APJ is always a great read!!!

7. non-standard English again
I've been congratulated on inventing the word "gobsmacked" (which I didn't) and asked what "dog's breakfast" means (horrible mixed-up mess resembling the combo of discarded food and vomit that dogs ate off public sidewalks on the morning after).

And now, "what's a wag?"

From the Oxford Concise:

wag a facetious person, a joker
It also notes that the derivation is probably from the obsolete waghalter, "one likely to be hanged". ;)
