Frank Guinta Celebrates His Infamy

by: Dean Barker

Tue Nov 16, 2010 at 19:25:15 PM EST


From the department of You Can't Make It Up:
Although they cannot yet vote, members of the incoming class of 13 new Republican senators and more than 80 new Republican House members are making themselves heard in the hallways and to the activists gathered on the Capitol grounds.

"This infamous freshmen class will not let you down," Representative-elect Frank Guinta, Republican of New Hampshire, told the anti-lame-duck rally.

I wasn't prepared for this level of self-reflective honesty so early:
in·fa·mous
-adjective
1. having an extremely bad reputation: an infamous city.
2. deserving of or causing an evil reputation; shamefully malign; detestable: an infamous deed.
3.Law .
a.deprived of certain rights as a citizen, as a consequence of conviction of certain offenses.
b.of or pertaining to offenses involving such deprivation.
It's true - they've gotten a really good start already.

"This infamous freshmen class will not let you down."

That is hands down my favorite new phrase.   It was around this time, too, in the political cycle that Sununu the Younger blurted out "stop complaining about heath care."
