"You, my friend have been shmeklenized"

By GottaLaff

The Mudflats has a hilarious post up about a reader who claims that LipSchmutz McWTF punk'd everyone, because, see, "mandation" is a real word. How does the reader know? Well, pfft, because the word was defined in the ever-reliable Wiki Answers!

It's safe to say that McWTF's followers are just as well-read as she is:

In the wee hours of the morning, I got this little gem in the moderation queue from someone in or around Salem Oregon, who calls themselves “AKReport”

Sorry AKM, Palin just punked you. mandation is a word, moron.

mandation: “another form of involuntary servitude”

1 : a condition in which one lacks liberty especially to determine one’s course of action or way of life
2 : a right by which something (as a piece of land) owned by one person is
subject to a specified use or enjoyment by another

Ohhh, my friend…

Anyone familiar with dictionaries, and wikis will know immediately why I got such a good chuckle over this one.

Mudflats had a lot to say, a must-read lot to say in fact, but finally responds with this:

You, my friend have been shmeklenized.

verb -Shmeklenize -d
1. To be revealed on a blog or social media website site as having made embarrassing and false accusations based upon knowledge obtained from a wiki.
2. To insult someone in a manner in which you, yourself are guilty.

syn. - sproinked, flubbugated, bloamed

My new favorite word: Shmeklenized. Although "sproinked" is right up there.

Now go read. You'll be glad you did.

No wonder the -Ers are out there shrieking "Hitler!!" While the rest of us are working, trying to get work, going to school, caring for our families, or some other constructive effort, they're so stupid they can't so much as get a job at the RMC (Note: That's the way they spell RNC):

And last but not least, my fave:

Former Pressies Warn President-Elect Obama Not to Go Crazy on Web

Bloody morons. "Too accessible"?

He used the Internet to break fundraising records and win the White House, and now President-elect Barack Obama is expected to expand his reach via a greatly enhanced Whitehouse.gov website. But before he makes any big moves, former White House press aides to several presidents have a warning: Don't become so Web-accessible that it devalues the president's message making. "There is a real challenge and risk," says Don Baer, a former Clinton-era communications boss and former U.S. News staffer.

The risk: "Cheapen the president's message."

(snip)

Baer, for example, suggested that using blogs, Web chats, and video conferences is a good idea, but he said that the White House has to make sure not to overdo it and thus make the president too accessible.

Who are these troglodytes?

Former Clinton aide Don Baer, former Ford spokesman Ron Nessen, former newsman Marvin Kalb, Brookings Institution author Stephen Hess, and former Bush spokesman Scott McClellan.

Oh now I understand.
