Actual headline from MSNBC:



Roffles! And a grand, table-clearing swish of the sparkley tail to Pony Pal™ Adam!

good thing he's not British! Then he'd need Vagisil!

Using the right lube makes all the difference in the world.

You'd think having been around DC for so long, he'd know that.

Tsk, tsk.

Perhaps Larry Craig could give him some tips on that.
Slippery asshole certainly applies to him!

Can not quite get my head round the Fannie bit especially if you are from the UK. Its funny how different places have different meanings to words. I should think this would be a great and very interesting hobby.

Whether Brit or Yank, we all want to keep our Fannies minty fresh!

But whether Brit or Yank, no one should name their Fannie Mae!

I recommend psyllium husk.

As that great cowboy philosopher used to say: I never Metamusil I didn't like.

As far as Brit/Yank idiomatic dissonance goes, you can't beat "knocking me/him/her up".

Go ahead, explain it, katie

It's even funnier when you consider that in England "fannie" means... um... "the lady bits and pieces". Paulson's wife must be thrilled...
