(at a rally in Cleveland (some help here, please)

President Bush: "Hey, there's that reporter, Clymer."

Vice-President Cheney: "Yeah, he's a real a$$hole."

or words to that effect...

On Labor Day, 2000 then Texas Governor Bush was in Naperville, Ill. The microphone picked up this conversation that wasn't meant for public consumption;

"There's Adam Clymer. Major league a$$hole from the New York Times," Bush said.

"Yeah, big time," returned Cheney.

Many of us quickly looked up Adam Clymer's articles and determined that Bush and Cheney were complimenting him. I wouldn't be that nice describing Clymer. From then on, some of us used the word Clymer in place of the word a$$hole. I still do.

I never heard of Clymer himself before that incident and only once after.
