pickering

pickering. now here's word that *has* to be added to our lexicon. "congressman, what were you doing during such a long lunch hour?" "oh nothing, just a little pickering." see charles "chip" pickering was a republican congressman from mississippi. look at that american flag billowing ever so slightly behind him in his official photo. he took many a stance to uphold the sanctity of one man/one woman marriage and campaigned on a promise to bring family values to washington. pickering tried to force his own views on marriage upon the country by pushing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and using marriage as a cudgel to demand that President Bill Clinton resign. however, his wife is now reporting that he had an adultrous relationship with a woman which ended both their marriages WHILE HE WAS IN CONGRESS. yet, he was simultaneously bellowing loudly at clinton: “I think for the good of the country and the good of his own family it would be better for him to resign. When someone puts himself forward for public office, then his personal conduct does become relevant.” and later, while defending his support of a constitutional gay marriage ban, stated: “Marriage as an institution between one man and one woman promotes the best interest of the husband and wife, and the best interests of children.” wow, perhaps "pickering" should also be a syntonym of "hypocrytical". how many more of these morons need to be exposed before everyone starts to get a clue?
