Impeach the Motherfucker Already!

Submitted by Shal

Edited by Shal

Dan Savage, writer of the weekly sex column Savage Love, has some experience with coining terms. He and his loyal readers are responsible for the widespread use of the terms "pegging" (the act of a woman fucking her man with a strap-on), "santorum" (as he puts it, "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex," named after anti-gay senator Rick Santorum), and the acronym "DTMFA" ("dump the motherfucker, already" -- advice frequently given in his column).

Dan's got a new term he's trying to get people using: "ITMFA," which is short for "Impeach the motherfucker, already!"

I approached the idea cautiously. While Savage Love readers have successfully popularized two terms— pegging and santorum—I was apprehensive about ITMFA. Did the world need another anti-Bush slogan? Did we need another anti-Bush website? Instead of launching the campaign, I punted, asking my readers what they thought.

Well, they thought we should go for it—and my readers are usually right about this stuff.



The website at impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com is still in its early stages, but Savage is asking supporters to make their own "ITMFA" buttons and tshirts and send in pictures to be displayed. He also plans to link to any interesting news or websites that discuss impeaching President Bush.

I wish him luck in getting the phrase -- and the sentiment behind it -- into the realm of public discourse.

"Pegging" is in widespread use? Where? I thing some one is using the term "widespread" a little loosely. That's it from the word police.

Women fucking men in the ass with a strap-on isn't all that widespread either, though.

Its pretty well used in a lot of circles I have known, and that spreads three provinces.

I had to add "spreads".

oops

sorry

I fell asleep on my keyboard

what's that?

some Lib wants to impeach Bush?

oh

iasd hoqw gsd k;AS


uptight misses the point a little bit here. this isnt michael moore. its a sex columnist with a pretty high readership. not that dan hasnt been making political quips for the entirety of his career, but its not his main schtick. liberal sex advice is his main schtick. and dreaming of coming on ashton kutcher's face.


Missing the point is Uptight's stock in trade. He wouldn't care who Dan Savaga is. He's just another "Lib" to Albtight. Er, Upbion.

Let him continue sleeping on his keyboard. We'll all be better off. him included.

If you don't read his column regularly, you won't know this, but this is a take off of a phrase he often uses, "DTMFA" or "Dump that motherfucker already!". For regular readers the sentiment is immediatly recognizable. ^_-




I.. uh.. kinda included that in my article. biggrin



HA! I'm dumb. blush

I don't want to hang out in your circles. Way too much pegging going on.

Why ridicule and demean someone based upon their political views? If you think someone is a moron or that they're corrupt, then fine, but to do so because you don't agree with what they say is a tad bit juvenile.
