GOP Rep Grabs ‘Czar’ List From FreeRepublic
The Washington Independent ^ | 2009-09-09 | David Weigel

Posted on 09/09/2009 11:22:40 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

Following up on this morning’s post about Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) calling for a hearing on “44 czars,” I asked McHenry’s spokesman Brock McCleary where that number came from.

“We’re using a variety of sources and finding everyone who has been referred to as a ‘czar,’” said McCleary. “It would be appropriate for the WH to release a formal list.”

In the meantime, McClearly provided me with two sources that McHenry’s office is using to build a czar list: this list from Politico, and this thread from the conservative web forum FreeRepublic.com. The FreeRepublic thread begins with a list from the conservative AmericanDaughter.com, which calls the appointment of czars “the beginnings of dictatorship” and includes several administration officials who’ve actually been confirmed by the Senate.

In the galaxy of Andromeduh.

The TITLE is perfect. If idiot lefties don’t know what niggardly means, why would we give a damn if they don’t have the intelligence to understand a nuance?

Lefties will assume niggardly has something to do with a slur against our dark skinned brethren...

Yeah. Remember when a NY legislator used the word in a sentence and they immediately called him a racist and wanted him fired. That’s what I’m talking about.
Too stupid to live. Why do I care if THEY are stupid? Eventually the left looks like the moronic mob it is.

Hey if the issue is typos, Politico called her “Carol Brower”.

I did a big automated search on them all and started with the (shorter) politico list, but then came back for the more comprehensive FR list, WITHOUT the Carol Browner typo, by the way.

“Yeah. Remember when a NY legislator used the word in a sentence and they immediately called him a racist and wanted him fired. That’s what I’m talking about.”

When they got caught looking dopey on that one, it became all about “the intent to use a word that associated with bigotey” and still made a big deal out og it...me, I just call a spade a spade...

It's an archaic spelling.

From Answers.com

Dictionary: com·pleat (kəm-plēt') pronunciation

Compleat

adj.

1. Of or characterized by a highly developed or wide-ranging skill or proficiency: “The compleat speechwriter … comes to anonymity from Harvard Law” (Israel Shenker).
2. Being an outstanding example of a kind; quintessential: “Here was the compleat modern misfit: the very air appeared to poison him; his every step looked treacherous and hard won” (Stephen Schiff).

And in Merriam-Webster:

* Main Entry: com·pleat
* Pronunciation: \kəm-ˈplēt\
* Function: adjective
* Etymology: archaic variant of complete in The Compleat Angler (1653) by Izaak Walton
* Date: 1526

: having all necessary or desired elements or skills : complete; also : classic, quintessential

It’s an alternative and more ancient spelling.
