Buzz words destroy sound bites

It's a big package. This package will not stimulate as much as it advertises. Obama's package is bloated.

So am I filthy minded or does this sound like something other than economic recovery?

Of course these quotes are referring to the collection of government programs and funding that are being proposed in the House and Senate to get us out of the current financial crisis. So what's with all the innuendo words?

This all started in December with the taint of Rod Blagojevich. The word was used first to describe the immoral residue Blago allegedly left on Barack and later on his Senate appointee Roland Burris. The word was in constant use. It would catch me off guard while in the kitchen listening to the news. I had to verify that I was not in fact watching some new spoken word porno channel. There was an excellent montage of television journalists using the word taint on the Colbert Report. If you find a link drop it in the comments.

So what's the real story here? I like to think someone is exploiting the herd mentality of twenty-four hour cable journalists by infecting them with a few double entendres.

Penis.
