Fucknutsville?

Today’s Deep Question From Politico: Is Impeachment “Just Another Day In F***Nutsville,” Or What?

The answer is, of course, yes — but mainly because every day over the last three years has been lived in F***nutsville. Politico founder John Harris laments the loss of seriousness in American politics, driven mainly by click-hungry media and grandstanding politicians. Thanks to a rush to impeachment talk even before establishing initial facts on Ukraine-Gate, Harris argues, what should be “news of unquestionable gravity” has now just become yet another kind of “fodder for the ideological and cultural wars.”

Rahm Emanuel coined the term. I like it.
