In the broad spectrum of things, this is not earth shattering but I think it's only fair to set the record straight.

RNC PR BS
I am tickled by the observation, from esteemed Atriot Jeffraham Prestonian in the comments earlier, that removing the vowels from Reince Priebus leaves the utterly appropriate acronym "RNC PR BS."
I cringed when I read this because I knew it wasn't correct.
The link leads to Atrios and in all his wisdom, he made an immediate correction when he learned that it was really our very own Sharoney who came up with the acronym which went viral.

Updated to add] Aaaaaannnd I fail. "RNC PR BS" originated with twitterer Sharoney apparently. I plead exhaustion and extreme twitter ignorance. To be [clear, Jeffraham never claimed to have originated it, he was passing it along and it was just the first time I saw it. Apologies all around.
Sharoney describes how she came up with the anagram in this comment:

I was trying to come up with an anagram of the guy's name, so I separated out the letters and vowels to rearrange and it just jumped out at me. So I tweeted it, and as the timestamp indicates, the rest is history.
And it will never happen to me again. I will sink into a well-deserved obscurity. But the observation will LIVE FOREVER, passed down from generation to progressive generation, at least until he is replaced with another Chair. LOL
Here's a photo that I took at NN10 of Sharoney and her husband. Are they cute or what?!
I have no clue how many times Sharoney's anagram was retweeted but I saw it a kazillion times. Suffice it to say, the whole twitter world will think of RNC PR BS every time they see Reince Priebus, which will be alot!
