10 Months to Go...

A good friend emails me this political slang definition that I must admit I hadn't heard before. Here is UrbanDictionary describing a "ratfuck":

Formerly known as "the double-cross," it refers to infiltration and sabotage of the opposition party, particuarly during (but not limited to) an election campaign. The second half of "All the President's Men" describes ratfucking done to 1972 Democratic presidential candidates by employees of the Committee to Re-Elect Nixon.

Ken Clawson, Nixon's communications director, confessed to a ratfuck when he told how he forged a letter making it look like a Democratic candidate was a racist.

A typical ratfuck is to falsely claim there's a political rally for the opposition party, order 300 pizzas for delivery in the name of the party, and then nobody shows up.
Politics in our country is so dignified we use rodent bestiality to describe it. Beautiful.

Oh. And here is Hillary Clinton's crocodile tears if you haven't seen them already.
