Create a definition for a word based on someone in the news...
..everyone knows what Santorum is.

(If you don't make sure you're not at work or on a computer the kids can see and google it.)

Now is your turn to create a word/definition based on the name of someone in the news.

I'll start:

Trotter

a reporter who makes death threats to make up for not being able to pronounce names correctly

Now, you make one.

2. One of the checkout aisle women's magazines...
...today, though I don't think it was Cosmo, has an article on how to avoid being Spitzered.

So Elliot's become a verb.

Cheneyed or Cheney yourself is out there. None of the big ones left but I will try.
This ain't easy.

6. "Pilloried"
Political pun on the word "pillory" (i.e., in the generic sense - exposed to public disgrace). In government or politics, used to describe a person publicly castigated for use of (okay, may I be polite here?) questionable political tactics and comments ... the pronouncement of which word merely by coincidence reminds one of the transgressor who inspired the coinage of said word.

Example: Subsequent to the primary vote in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, former First Lady Hillary Clinton found herself "pilloried" by the mainstream media and Internet bloggers for her nuanced implications she had attracted the bulk of the white working class vote.
