Query: Republican Vocabulary

Journal by aristarchus

So, American Congress having hearings. Seems some folks are not all that happy about it. But today I heard a Doug Collins referring to something, not sure what it was, but I could have swore I heard him say that someone was "besmirking the dead". Does anyone have any idea what this is?

No doubt, it has something to do with "getting to the oranges of the Russia investigation", as the target of the investigations, Suspect #1 put it. Something about a Squid going pro? Go for it, Squidward! He'll make a fine Republican Congress critter, in spite of being an invertebrate.

Move to strike the last word. Ball in your court, Soylentils.

Oh, and Louie Gohmert hates education.

    Well, there is "besmirch". Could be a play on words

    A "play on words", that Doug does not understand? No, this is based on the video, where the congressman clearly said "besmirk", which is not a word in the English language. Perhaps they have a different language in Georgia, and play upon it. Otherwise, Collins is an idiot and a Republican, but, a la Mark Twain, I repeat myself.
