Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Sometimes it looks as if she carries Craig Livingston around for emergencies, like a concealed carry holster.
That’s one morose looking dude behind Hillary.

Yes, another alliteration for hell in a hand basket.
Like eternal suffering in a suitcase or netherworld in a (k)napsack.
Along with the bribes to the Clinton Foundation,
Hillary's pannier holds Obama's balls and his little dog, too.
============================================
It's really, really important to remember that Hillary is running for
the presidency b/c she has a vagina and, so far, her opponents don't.
A big plus for her is ----Hillary's vagina is "like new"... "hardly
used" (as an eager used car salesman clinching the sale would say).
Oh sure, Bill rode 'er around a few times, but then decided on a younger, snazzier model.
Course nobody's looked under Hillary's hood lately but
Bill better not bank on being the first First Ladt w/ gonads.
Morose?
Well yeah...he was told to not stare at her caboose, but, nooooo, he just had to look.
PING!
(alt. ending) Exposing her to be a first class liar.
This is my first attempt EVER at composing a rhyme. (I found my late mother's ryming dictionary while looking for a measuring tape yesterday.) LOL
I have a set of Ortlieb Rollers on my bike. Very handy.

Another of the plethora of Clinton scandals. He took responsibility for the illegal collection of files on hundreds of republicans. But nobody admitted to hiring him. Can you spell "scapegoat"? Maybe it was George H.W. Bush's fault! link.
Of course, Obama, using secret NSA wiretaps and the entire IRS, is capable of collecting files on millions of republicans.
She’s been filling in for Psaki, but they moved the pentagon spokesman over to state to replace her instead of promoting Marie.
Good grief! If she would lose her pannier she might be able to lose a few pounds!

Good first attempt at poetry, although “mire” doesn’t quite rhyme with “pannier.” Keep ‘em coming!
A++++
Good example for “pannier.” They look great, except $180 is more than my bike cost. Of course, the longest tour I’ve ever taken on it is about 2 miles.
I use rhymezone.com
just funning, the generic name for the cookie is palmier.
Thanks. American League Baseball has the Designated Hitter. Obama’s minions (there’s a recent Word for the Day!) should be labelled Designated Liars.
I figured as much, particularly after looking up “pannier cookie” and finding nothing. Don’t worry, I’m still in a good mood after last night’s overtime victory by the “Rain-jas,” as you call them, no doubt mocking the chanting fans who, collectively, have a 20,000-voice strong Noo Yawk accent.
I dropped it on Twitter the other day. Someone was asking about the Hillary scandal du jour and I said “Is that a rhetorical question, like ‘Who hired Craig Livingstone?’”
But “funeral pyre” does.
