"Carrying the Water"

When one of these pundits wants to insinuate that someone (usually another pundit) defends everything that a politician says or does (usually President Bush) they'll say that that person is "Carrying the water" for him.

C'mon. Really? "Carrying the water"? Why don't you come right out and say he's sucking his dick?

The words "like" and "you know" are the two most abused and misused words/phrases in the English language today. I just want to strangle anyone who uses them more than once in any sentence. I think a good dose of shock therapy - perhaps a car battery hooked to jumper cables clamped to nipples - would cure abusers of the English language from further misuse.

Alas, as most states would find that cruel and unusual punishment and brand me as a bad mother, the alternative is charging my son a nickel every time he uses the word "like" the wrong way.

You see a pretty girl somewhere while you be chillin' with your bras and your bling, you know, and it's not like you have a choice. If she's hot, you turn to your bras and you let them know you'd hit that, like, right now.
