http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KaloogianKaloogian (n): A term that describes a false or out-of-context image used in order to advance an idea.
- That photo shown on O'Reilly's show last night was a Kaloogian!
Named for Howard Kaloogian, a California state assemblyman. While running for Duke Cunningham's vacated congressional seat, Kaloogian used an image of a street corner in the Istanbul suburb of Bakirkoy in order to promote the notion that "downtown Baghdad" was "much more calm and stable than what many people believe it to be," blaming the incorrect perception on the media.
The day after the Kaloogian was uncovered, candidate Kaloogian attempted a mulligan by submitting another photo depecting a calm Bagdhad. Athough the newer photo appeared to be a picture of Bagdhad, it lack the detail necessary to support his claim, in effect representing another Kaloogian. Any way to stop the deletion?
edit to add: There is another entry for Kaloogian and it includes a less slanted version of the photo incident (which seems destined to be Kaloogian's legacy unless he manages to do something stupider). This entry will probably survive:
