Just how much did Ben Zimmer chuckle while writing this "schlong" analysis for Politico? Well, no matter how much he was laughing, he did manage to write in a serious tone on the subject...which made it come off even funnier than was probably intended. At first Zimmer slams Donald Trump for his use of the term "schlonged" but ends up exonerating him when other examples of the slang word being used as a synonym for "defeat" were found.

I am trying to picture when a Politico assignment editor called up the writer to say, "I need you to do a Schlong piece."

The media is trying desperately to hang Trump on something. So far they have been unsuccessful. What a bunch of putzes!

It really is amazing. Trump doesn't have to spend millions on TV ads. He just lets the political commentators get all worked up about one word and now Hillary is branded as "schlonged". It will probably stick to her just like Dukakis and his tank, or Howard Dean and his scream.
If you manage to make your opponent the butt of jokes, there's no way for them to overcome it.

And the idiot newsreader on NBC national news last night referred to it as a “vulgar” term used by Trump. I’ll be waiting for tonight’s news to hear their correction.
