Clyer. New York Times Journalist. At a press conference, he was pointed out to George Bush by Dick Cheney. Not knowing the microphone, Bush said: "yeah, a major league arsehole."

Hence, a clymer.

Bush was even presented with a baseball jersey with "Clymer" on the back.

A synonym for a$$hole, taken from George W.'s celebrated remark during the Presidential campaign when he spotted NYT reporter Adam Clymer in the auidience.

Bush whispered to Cheney, "There's that guy from the NYT. He's a real a$$hole," and Cheney responded, "Yeah, big time." The only problem was that they were whispering in front of a live mike.

Instead of being a campaign killer, this exchange turned out to be a campaign booster because most of America understood that most reporters are a$$holes. So now everyone calls an a$$hole a "Clymer".

Comprende?

I see several posters have already beat me to it. (I had to go out for a while.) I'm not terribly comfortable using profanity to get my point across, but 'clymer' suits the bill when somebody/something REALLY infuriates me, as this 'activist' did last night. Besides; Jim says "NO profanity".
