Can't we all just get a schlong? Can't we get a schlong?

In March of 2011, Cillizza was interviewed by NPR's Neil Conan to discuss the then-recent death of 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro. Conan, who was born in Beirut but grew up in New York City, used the expression to describe the outcome of that race, which Ferraro and Walter Mondale lost overwhelmingly.
CONAN: Chris Cillizza, that ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls, but that's a historic moment.
CILLIZZA: Absolutely historic moment, Neal, but as you point out, lost 49 states. The only state that that ticket won, which was led by Walter Mondale, was his home state of Minnesota.
A veritable schlonging. (The word didn't impress itself upon Cillizza at the time, he said over email Tuesday evening, nor does it seem to have fazed him during the interview.)
Slang like "schlonged" wouldn't normally crop up in written journalism, of course. That it appears in a radio broadcast, where editing is trickier, isn't really a surprise. Conan, like Trump, is in his late 60s, suggesting that there may be a generational aspect to its use. Lots of words that were common and unremarkable decades ago are now viewed as disrespectful or inappropriate, of course, but Trump, it seems, might well be right.

“LOL...make the MSM eat their own words. Love it :)”
Not the least of them is FNC that persisted in editing the word out when playing the Trump video.....I know I’m late to the anti-FNC party, but what the fudge is going on with them?
FNC has gone all RINO, all the time. Slowly, beginning in 2008. They increased their speed beginning in 2012. They’re full speed ahead, now.
They are GOPe central command, turn them off.
Outstanding list! Hillary and her flying monkees should have just clammed up on this. ‘Schlong’ and Hillary are together from here on out! Trump plays her as good as he plays the ‘RAT lovin’ Media!
:-)
‘They are GOPe central command, turn them off.’
It’s depressing. They knew all along that the word was appropriate. For me, now, it’s a bridge too far to turn them off, but this is a hit that I’ll remember.
Too bad you feel that way.They support the destruction of American sovereignty and culture.Big business, government and media in it together.
Hillary is never schlonged. She is munched.
Can't we all just get a schlong? Can't we get a schlong?
heh heh heh.
and the hitlery team went for it...hook, line, and sinker.
>>Celebrity politicos are draining the dignity from office holders who used to be addressed as “The Honorable __________” whathisname!!!<<
What dignity? Don’t blame celebrity politicos when you have Reid, Pelosi, Boehner/Ryan and McConnell in charge of Congress. The half breed hasn’t done anything but strip dignity from the office.
I no longer use titles for the liars, thieves and perverts in Versailles on the Potomac. Respect is EARNED, not given.
If hillary is offended by a word, when "what difference does it make?" about Benghazi is an okay thing to say, she's too trivial and manipulative to accomplish anything.
” Celebrity politicos are draining the dignity from office holders who used to be addressed as “The Honorable __________” whathisname!!!
Same was said about Reagan......and please tell me one republican with ‘dignity’ besides Jeff Sessions.
Donald Trump may be the only Republican candidate actually willing to follow the Republican platform. This for instance.....
“ That is why we oppose any form of amnesty for those who intentionally violate the law. Granting amnesty only rewards and encourages more law breaking.”http://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Republican_Party_Immigration.htm
This feighned outrage over the word is so phony it's laughable. These are the same leftist's that use the F word in front of children.
