Stands by skirting.
Are you distracted by language the way I am? Stands by skirting... It's like... sits by pantsing... runs by shortsing....
And... while I'm at it... Manchin is a good name for a powerful masculine character. The feminine equivalent might be... Ladyfingers.
Secretary Ladyfingers sits by pantsing.

He was actually tiptoeing, which is sneaky and stealthy. The media have them a new target. Palin now seems so normal after her TLC series. The 24 hour media need a new twisted evil person to practice their slander skills upon.
Is Manchin the most masculine, interesting man in the world?
In other words; is he the life of parties he's never attended? If he punches you in the face, do you have to fight the urge to thank him? Do sharks have a week dedicated to him? Do even his enemies list him as their emergency contact? Does he speak fluent French, in Russian?
All kidding aside...a pox on his house, and his re-election bid, for missing those votes.
I don't have a problem with skirting, as in "skirting the issue", but I do think that it is an imprecise use here. Why not just say, "he refused to attend"?
Before I was self-employed, my employers would not have accepted "it's been planned for over a year" as an excuse to miss an important meeting.
Does Manchin wear cargo shorts?
I was going to go as the Most Interesting Man in the World for Halloween.
But I ended up just going as myself.
Does Manchin wear cargo shorts?
In Soviet Union, you are the cargo.
(sorry...I'm on a Yokov kick since yesterday's comments)
He is a politician, after all.
He seems to be going the Ah-nold route, make a big show of how macho you are during the campaign and then make like a wuss once elected.
A name is only a name, but if anything, Manchin tends to call to mind munchkin more than anything overtly masculine.
No "Manchin On The Hill."
I would guess in West Virginia, a no vote plays better than a yes. So he opted for "present" instead.
How Obamaesque!
I would not expect my Senators to do that. But I don't live in West Virginia.
I had a dream last night that I was back in college and my professors were Russ Feingold and James Sensenbrenner.
How weird.
Is skirting votes similar to running into the cloakroom when a vote isn't going your way?
Wow. That's... actually a very nice picture of her.
"Are you distracted by language the way I am?"
All the time. Being distracted by the power of words and names has a long history and comes in many guises. So at least we're in good company.
But skirting isn't a made up word, pantsing is.
"Are you distracted by language the way I am?"
Nope. My vernacular ain't your vernacular, although I wouldn't care to use yours when appropriate.
It's all Descartes' fault.
"Are you distracted by language the way I am?"
Is it getting worse as you get older? Eventually you may become so focused on the word choices people make that you won't actually be able to communicate with anyone. If you were a minor character in a book or movie, people would discuss what you symbolize.
WV: cones. Solid figures created by the rotation of an isosceles triangle about its angle bisector.
"Are you distracted by language the way I am?"
Sadly, no!....I'm an engineer, I listen to results, and assume any one with just words is blowing smoke.
That's why I lurk at the althouse altar!!
oh yeah....I have a wife. She reminds of words that I may have forgotten.
