6. "shenanigan" is the new Rove dis-info "buzzword"?
Edited on Mon Jan-24-05 03:45 AM by tommcintyre
Noun: shenanigan shu'nanigun

1. Reckless or malicious behaviour that causes discomfort or annoyance in others
- mischief , mischief-making , mischievousness , deviltry , devilry , devilment , rascality , roguery , roguishness

Not a very "serious" word, eh?

Not so coincidentally (I believe) this word was used repeatedly by Cokie Roberts (and company) in the unprecedented thinly veiled Nightline anti-election fraud "infomercial" last Wednesday. Being tuned into semantics, it caught my attention immediately as an "inappropriate" description of past election/vote fraud (which was clearly being discussed/linked in an attempt to minimize the seriousness of the current election fraud).

Now (again) not so coincidentally, it "pops up" in this article? Hmmm... Are we seeing a pattern here?

Please PM me any other similar articles using this word you run into. I'm writing an analysis of the possible motivation, strategy, implications, etc. of the Nightline show. Thanks
