Given that W was "Shrub", it seems only fitting.

Hedge Words

Weve seen them, weve used them, those words that pull us back from the edge, that keep us from laying out our emotions, actions or descriptions in full, unapologetic fashion.
What are these words that restrain us and confine our emotions?
I call them hedge words. As writers, we produce a scene and infuse it with passion and high tension and then, bam! we back off. As if were ashamed of the emotion weve let loose.

(12,165 posts)We could call all of his various scandals Hedgegate. Especially the buying of Enron stock for the Fla pension fund.

(37,166 posts)There's always room for things to call him. Doubtless more will reveal themselves.
None of them flattering.
