Related: About this forumWhats the definition of a Priebus??
In his television appearances, Priebus comes off as juvenile, and whiningsomething less than a hack. Ditto for the press releases, and double it for the speeches. There is no there, there, other than smarmy pronouncements about how Obama is probably a radical something-or-other and other, similar lower-tier carping that is omnipresent among the base but which seem embarrassingly dim stuff for basing a national party message around. Forget big ideas, forget whether the problem is Republican message or Republican messengers, and all the rest of it; this is the best the party can come up with?
So yes, I very much like that title. Priebus Is What Happens When a Party Loses Its Self-Respect. Yes, that, in a nuts

(2,708 posts)- from my latin dictionary of the democratic language:
Priebus: (noun) Maximus Gluteus Maximus
specifically:
Reince Priebus: the horse's ass Caligula appointed roman senator.
to 'reince priebus' is to appoint an unqualified horse's ass to an important position.

(24,764 posts)Wouldn't the definition from the Latin dictionary of the Democratic language be more like this?
Priebus: (noun) Gluteus Maximus Equus
That's Latin for a horse's ass.

(5 posts)Priebus: see "Ass clown". The GOP is too warped and extreme to be able to make a seachange before the mid-term election. If you think they're in disarray now, just wait.
