UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT

Sacramento's Out Of Iraq Forum Rocks The Capital City (Nancy Tronaas, Progressive Democrats of America, 1/7/06)

Actor Sean Penn added to the enthusiasm of the day by stressing that all of the nation's anti-war activism was taking hold and was starting to work—while admitting that the stress of living under the current administration was making it tough for him to quit smoking. Stating that he "was not a pacifist on the inside", he was moved to be one on the outside for the sake of his children and grandchildren's future. He said we have to fight for everything we have.
Here's a new type of word play: Sean Pennies (based on Tom Swifties) are oxymoronic statements of political belief. Sean fought for pacificism. Orrin was driven to oppose the automobile. Peter was militantly Canadian. The best Sean Penny wins a book.

Sen. Ted Kennedy has a long history of assisting unwed mothers.
Ted Kennedy was intimately familiar with several members of the Palm Beach Rape Crisis hotline.
Senator Kennedy lectured his fellow Senators on civility and their civic responsibility, and urged a return to decorum in the Senate Chamber.

Buttressed by numerous citations, irrefutable facts, and a carefully crafted legislative agenda, Howard Dean calmly made the case for a Democratic Congress.

Bill Clinton took a pregnant pause as he prepared to evaluate his newest intern's performance.

Senator Reid refused to condemn President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina, noting instead that primary responsibility lay with the Governor of Louisiana, and any condemnation of the President was partisan hackery of the lowest order and unworthy of the great Democratic party.
