What should be the definition of lamborn or to lamborn or Lamborn's Law?
(Warning this diary may be offensive to some.)
So, many of us were justifiably mystified by the actions of Representative Doug Lamborn (R - CO) with regard to a photo of a girl in dirty coal-water that had been prepared for a presentation against Mountain-Top Removal to a congressional committee, which included police detention of the presenter. Okay, we weren't mystified. We all know how they operate, responding with fake outrage over a small non-issue as a smokescreen for the larger issue against them.
If we want to play their game, perhaps we should Luntzify Lamborn's name so that we can more readily identify such behavior in the future, so that we may respond to it.
Possible Definitions
Lets start with what he did.
Delegated Judgement
He accepted as bad something he didn't even bother to examine himself.
Sexualizing Children
He accepted the idea that any photo of a child sans apparel is automatically sexual.
Blowing an Outrageous Smokescreen
He immediately used/made up a smear of the most outrageous and despicable kind, Child Porn, to cover-up evidence against his cause, using police to bully the presenter. (Perhaps make this Lamborn's Law similar to Godwin's Law?)
Now, lets consider other ideas (a la "Santorum")
