7 phrases that I don't want to hear on television

In honor of the late George Carlin, I have modified his "7 words" into "7 phrases" that I personally don't want to hear on television:
  1. "Trickle Down" - I think this compares to me telling a homeless man that if he is hungry, he can eat my lunch after I digest it and turn it into shit.
  2. "Fundamentals of the Economy" - I don't even know what this means, and it is so broad that I can't believe people are focusing in on it. Leave McCain alone on this one.
  3. "Community Organizer" - Seriously, were Republicans really able to turn this into a derogatory term? Amazing.
  4. "Executive Experience" - In other words, people question your leadership skills, Obama. Oh yeah, you obviously don't have any since you have put together the most amazing campaign ever witnessed.
  5. "Lipstick on a pig" - That wasn't even his point. It's an expression. If Obama said that a collapsing bridge was old as dirt, would the media jump on this as an attack on McCain? Anyway, if I'm in a crowded room and call out "Hey Douchebag", and you turn around...then you're the douchebag who turned around.
  6. "Country First" - I'm going to start a slogan: "Oxygen first". Can we stop with the obvious statements? It isn't like Obama is running on a "Germany First, Japan Second, and America Third" ticket.
  7. "My Friends" - I've never met you, so please stop referring to me as your friend. It is such a creepy political ploy...like an old man calling the waitress "babydoll" to get extra syrup.
