Citations: 2002 Ben Domenech The Ben File (Oct. 10) “The Real West Wing”: Outside of the occasional state visit, there’s really only bustle when POTUS or VPOTUS (TMPMITW) walk through. It’s good when you don’t hear anything—that means nothing’s wrong. 2004 Spectre AWOL (Apr. 7) “Yousa tinkin yousa people gonna DIE?”: As an added bonus, Jar Jar McClellan has a way of distilling the complex philosophies and intellectual reasonings of TMPMITW (The Most Powerful Man in the World) into digestible bites while still conveying the nuance and thoughtfulness underneath. 2004 Joseph Curl Wonkette (Washington, D.C.) (May 5) “WH Pool Report: The President Never Did Get His Morning Papers Edition”: As your pool stood around in the parking lot of the Somerset Inn on W. Big Beaver Road, waiting for TMPMITW, Scott McClellan got an early-morning briefing about the news from yeoman Josh Deckard, who pointed out important passages as he handed the press secretary a ream of paper.
