What is more obnoxious: "First dude" or "Blago sphere"?

Asked by tonedef (3935points) December 17th, 2008

Fox (specifically Greta van Sustern) coined the term “first dude” to give Todd Palin a homey (NOT homo!), macho appeal. CNN (specifically Wolf Blitzer) coined the “witty” play on words, “Blago sphere” to describe the group of people involved in the senate seat scandal.

Which one of these abortive neologisms is more obnoxious?

I think that “first dude” is suckier, because it rolled gay panic, stereotypical gender roles, and Greta desperately repeating the phrase.

“Greta! Stop tryint to make ‘first dude’ happen. “first dude” is NEVER going to happen!”
