LOL - That's the journalist that GW was heard to call " A Major League A$$hole"!! In short, the expression was just reduced to a "clymer".

From Jonah Goldberg in National Review:

At a Labor Day rally in Naperville, Illinois, George W. Bush spotted Adam Clymer, a veteran political reporter for the Times. Gov. Bush believes that Clymer's coverage has been decidedly negative, especially about Bush's record in Texas. Bush turned to his running mate, Dick Cheney, and said, "There's Adam Clymer — a major league [expletive]." To which Cheney replied, "Oh, yeah, big time."

You are not alone in not knowing that. I call people "clymers" all the time and no one knows what I mean. ;^)
