Double Your Euphemisms
Jeff Greenfield on CNN: "For weeks Republicans have been saying, 'Do you really want Charlie Rangel of New York running the Ways and Means Committee, which does taxes? Do you really want John Conyers at the Judiciary Committee? Do you want Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco?'—a code word that has a pretty clear meaning of 'extreme liberal.'"
Yes, Jeff. That's what "San Francisco" is code for.

Just a few weeks ago, I thought we found out "San Francisco" was code for Hastert's office keepin' man/boy love on the DL. No?
I don't know. I just can't keep up with this stuff anymore.
If you're from Oakland, "San Francisco" means Whitey.
Disco Mustache Whitey.
She'll introduce legislation to replace soldier's body armor with Rice-a-Roni packages.
