GOP tarts, Bushturbation and other Neologisms.
Okay, DUers, I know we can come up with some appropriate neologisms for the English language in these ghastly times. Let's come up with a few and work them into the language.

Here are my favorites:

GOP tart (noun): a non-Republican who enables and indeed supports a right-wing Republican agenda. example: Zell Miller

Bushturbation (noun): fawning prose and/or radio/TV commentary lauding George W. Bush and his character (!), policies, temperament, and vision (!) example: Ronald Kessler's upcoming tome.

Paris Hilton tax (noun): the estate tax (known to current GOP leaders as "the death tax," as though it applied in every case of death)

What are yours?

For me, I've been using

Birth Tax to refer to the huge and ballooning debt that will saddle every child born today with thousands of dollars in debt.
