Election cliché-o-rama

There’s been plenty of talk about post-election decompression and withdrawal, and as much as I’ll miss the drama of the past few months, I am happy to be rid of the candidates and pundits and the election cliché-o-rama. In particular, here are my top 10 election-era phrases I never want to hear again:

1. Reaching across the aisle

2. Any Palin-ism, including, but not limited to: Hockey Mom, Joe Six Pack, Wassilla, etc.

3. Any mention of Scranton (unless I’m watching “The Office”)

4. Mending political fences

5. Joe The F’ing Plumber

6. Sitting around the kitchen table (who does that?)

7. Maverick (unless we’re talking about Bret or “Top Gun”)

8. Main Street vs. Wall Street (argh! That one makes me want to poke my eyeballs out!)

9. Palling around with terrorists

10. Change
