Testicularitus
Testicularitus. Never heard of it before? Probably because it isn’t a word yet. We just made it up today.
We can’t find any reference to this word in any online dictionary, nor can we find it in any internet search engine. So we are going to claim it as our own. This word is being coined today in much the same way as the word “Pajamahadeen” was coined by Jim Geraghty of National Review Online. Mr Geraghty used “Pajamahadeen” in response to the comment by Jonathan Klein, (former executive vice president of CBS News) who described bloggers in a debate on the O’Reilly Factor. The quote from the debate is printed in The Wall Street Opinion Journal in an article by John Fund, entitled, I’d Rather Be Blogging.
Jonathan Klein said, “You couldn’t have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at ‘60 Minutes’] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.”
The word “Pajamahadeen” was coined, because there was no other decent word to describe such a gross misrepresentation of bloggers.
Which brings us to “Testicularitus”.
What is “Testicularitus”? It is a symptom of a particular malady that is most often found among Senate Republicans. The malady of course is testicular fortitude, or lack thereof, in this particular case. We have heard, via Rush Limbaugh, and we have read, via several articles during the last week, that Senate Republicans are again losing their testicular fortitude, thereby bringing on the symptoms of “Testicularitus”. The symptom is best described as being unwilling to take a stand no matter how justified or right the stand might be.
Lack of testicular fortitude and “Testicularitus” are brought about whenever Senate Republicans have to face any decision which might actually take courage.
It is a sad state of affairs when the electorate turns out in such huge numbers for the express purpose of re-electing President Bush, increasing the Republican majority in the Senate, and increasing the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, only to find the Senate Republicans have come down with “Testicularitus”. There is no other word to describe this gross mis-use of the mandate delivered to Senate Republicans by the last election concerning filibustering of judicial nominees.
This is a toll free number for contacting your Senator. The number is 1-866-808-0065. Please join in helping to alleviate the symptoms of our Republican Senators who are suffering so terribly from “Testicularitus”.
