Variation on a Matt Groening Coined Word: Rovediddit.

Matt Groening is the creator of The Simpsons and some of you may know another one of Matt's creations is a cartoon entitled Life is Hell. I don't know if it is still being published or not but I bought a book of Life in Hell cartoons at the end of my college days (some time ago, I just received the invite for my 20th HS reunion). In it they had a list of terms coming out of the '80s. One of them was "Reagandiddit". Homelessness? Reagandiddit. Death and woe? Reagandiddit. Get it?

Powerline notes this story:
A number of intelligence sources have reported that assassinations of foreign leaders like Hariri and Hobeika are ultimately authorized by two key White House officials, Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove [emphasis added] and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliot Abrams. In addition, Abrams is the key liaison between the White House and Sharon's office for such covert operations, including political assassinations.

This is part of a story looking into the assassination of Rafik Hairiri former prime minister of Lebanon. Who is this charging: Rovediddit? An American in name only by the name of Wayne Madsen.

So coming out of this decade we will have Rovediddit.
