'Wee-weed up:' White House explains it

[Mr. K]

So what did the president mean when he said this week that everyone's getting all "wee-weed up'' in Washington?

"It's a phrase I use,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today, hesitating at his press briefing to offer a physical demonstration of the phraseology.

"Let's do this in a way that's family friendly,'' Gibbs said. "I think 'wee-weed up' is when people get all nervous for no particular reason....

"August of 2008, everybody was nervous about whether the entire presidential campaign was slipping out from the hands of the president,'' Gibbs said, turning the page to this August, in which all the president's critics are declaring his health-care initiatives in peril. "This is sort of an August pundit pattern of people getting overly nervous about something that has a long way to go...

"Bedwetting would probably be the more consumer-friendly term for it,'' the press secretary said.

[Mr. K]

Gibbs must hate his job some days...

Prezzie Wee-wee’s excellent adventure.

[what's up]

What class.

"It's a phrase I use,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today

So, by massive coincidence, the only two living humans who use the expression "wee weed up" happen to work in the same building.

This is probably the only thing this man has said that I understood, makes sense, and accept from his point of view. This kind of crap just takes our concentration off target.

I did not know Obama was French.

'Wee-weed up:' sounds like a colloquialism from another land and culture.

Certainly not American.

[Eaker]

Odinga is such an idiot.

Just like the fools that voted for his dumb ass.

[neodad]

At least he didn’t say macaca!

“’It’s a phrase I use’, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today”

That explains it. Gibbs and Obama use the same teleprompter.

Possibly, but I was just thinking how pathetic it is that the sniveling bed-wetter we elected President is now making "wee-wee" a topic of political conversation.

So Gibbs had to fall on his sword today. This will get old for him soon.

I thought it had something to do with taking a whiz.

The American phrase for wee wee vis-à-vis an administration is Whiz Kids as in JFK/LBJ administration's Whiz Kids that whizzed on our military. (wee-weed up our military)

We're all going to get wet under Obama's Administration.

"I think 'wee-weed up' is when people get all nervous for no particular reason....

OK, so like when TARP was passed in such a hurry because the financial system was going to collapse in 72 hours. Or when the stimulus package just HAD to go through so quick so that we didn't exceed 8% unemployment. Oh yeah, and when the auto companies HAD to get a bailout right away or they might have to declare bankruptcy.

Maybe it applies to Cap-N-Tax needing to go through quickly. Heathcare reform bills needing to be passed before summer recess...err...the end of the year. Does it explain why congress must vote on bills they haven't had time to read?

Is that what "wee-weed up" means?

WEED! WEED!
