Go Away, 2005: The Poll

We asked for what you're sick of and now we know: You're sick of it all. You don't want to hear about blame games, the MSM, the nuclear option, activist judges, mission accomplished, up or down votes, Zell Miller, criminalizing politics OR politicizing the war, Christopher Hitchens, Hillary Clinton, do-overs, the same intelligence or Googling monkeys.

As it happens, developing elaborate taxonomies for the things we loathe was the hobby that got us through grad school. So we can't look at this bile-churning list without thinking: Sure, there's a lot to hate, but shouldn't there be some way of organizing it? Thus: "Go Away: The Poll." Starting this week, we'll round up a slew of the words, phrases and people Wonkette readers wish to be banned. Then you can vote on the most loathsome. Fun!

This week: Banned words and phrases, Executive Branch. "Ongoing investigation" is already on there. Send your further suggestions to , please put "Go away" in the subject line. If you want to be nice, include "executive branch," too. But who wants to be nice?

Banned Words and Phrases

The idea came to us last week, when paralysis set in at the thought of writing another item about Judy Fucking Miller. There are some people, some ideas, some words that we've just had enough of. Already know just about everything one would want or care to know about Patrick Fitzgerald, for instance. And, fuck: Will we ever get out of the "Situation Room"?

With a nod to Matt Groening, here's some nominees for "banned words and phrases," 2005:

• Fitzmas
• Scalito
• "You're in the Situation Room"
• "No one died when Clinton lied"
• "Ongoing investigation"
• Plamegate
• Maureen Dowd
• Jeff Gannon
• "The Gang of 500" (Idea for Wonkette t-shirt: "Gang of 500 reject")
• Joe Wilson
• "Turd blossom"
• Governator
• "You're doing a heck of a job"
• Jon Klein
• "Bush derangement syndrome"
• Bleg
• Pajamahadeen
• "Double super secret"
• "Personal waiver"
• Butterstick
• "Wonkette"

We could go on. And yet, we're curious: What words/phrases/people have you seen enough of in 2005? You can keep it to a political/DC axis,, though I would not be adverse to a special "civilian/cultural" category just to be able to put an end to "Desperate Housewives" and all Britney Spears-related jokes. Send your ideas to , with "go away" in the subject line. We have no power to make it happen, but we can whine about it.

You know I'm a Democrat, right?
