So I was flipping through channels last night and I caught part of the interview/behind the scenes coverage of the Barack Obama campaign as presented by Terry Moran. And as I was watching it, a thought occurred to me. In fact, it’s the same thought that always occurs to me whenever I see Terry Moran on TV, no matter who he’s interviewing, and that is: Terry Moran’s a wiener. There aren’t many grown men you can describe as wieners, but, in my opinion, Terry Moran is one of them. You know what I mean: the uppity know-it-all types with perfect teeth and perfect hair, who are generally well-liked, but you can see in their eyes a ferociousness that says they would just as soon slit your throat as smile at you, even though you know, deep down, all it would take is one punch to bring the snot wad to tears.
But then I thought: Maybe I’m being too hard on him. Maybe he’s really not a wiener. They say TV makes you look ten pounds heavier. Perhaps the rule applies to wienerocity as well. So I Googled his name and discovered he has a news blog, and I figured this might be a good opportunity to gain some insight into his character without the added wienertude that may or may not be the result of a television camera. But his fucking blog froze my browser, and I had to reboot my computer. But, because I have journalistic integrity, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and tried it again. Same result.
So since I don’t have any unbiased data to prove whether or not Terry Moran is, in fact, a wiener, I thought I’d get your input.
I’ll leave the poll up for a day or two. Please take the time to vote, as it is of the utmost importance.
(If you don’t know who Terry Moran is, here’s a picture of him.)
(See? I’m telling ya. One punch. That’s all it would take.)

What poll? Where?
I've never seen this guy before, but on the surface I would say he's slipped over the fine line between good looks and slimerocity.
Poll's up now.
(adding slimerocity to my vocab....)
I think my three-year old could take him out, no problem. So I voted yes.
Dude, that's not a real picture, is it? Looks like some freaky morph of Hugh Grant and David Duke.
As for weinertude, I'd have to hear him and what he has to say before I would take a stand one way or another.
I used to absolutely love fighting as a kid - loved that feeling of fist on bone - didn't stop until I was thirteen, because by then, it felt weird fighting, as a girl, especially as I won a lot, small though I was.
But I have to say - I'd have really enjoyed laying low the weiner for you. That prefectitude -it shouldn't be allowed to stand. No sirree Bob.
So, BT, what you said:

I'm right there with ya. I see it, too.
From the pic, I'd be with you all the way on the wienertude issue. But I chose to be honest and say I didn't know this stick-up-his-butt white guy from any other in D.C.
Oh, he is a wiener. And I agree-- Aerin's 3 year old could take him out.
That preppy smirk disgusts me. It reminds me of Bush. Of expected privilege.
OMG!!!
You're a wiener too, because I totally forgot the reason why I came over here. You got me all distracted with that wiener poll.
Are you still participating in the writing exercise? Just wanted to give you a heads-up that the deadline is Saturday.
Phew....
Yeah, Chris I'm working on it. I hate writing myself into a corner so I waited to write pt 2 until you posted pt3 etc. So maybe that makes me a wiener too. Is the dead line Saturday Dubai time? Or Saturday regular time?
End of day Saturday, eastern Wienertime.
(can't stop saying this word)
