Reporter to Gibbs: What does “wee-wee’d up” mean?
posted at 7:42 pm on August 21, 2009 by Allahpundit
Evidently Gibbs uses the term too, which makes this the political equivalent of one of those languages twins speak that no one else can understand. I thought it meant “screwed up.” E.g., “That deficit bombshell has left the future of ObamaCare thoroughly wee-wee’d up.” Or “The fact that a plurality now believes their taxes will be a lot higher under Obama is wee-weeing his chances at reelection.”
Seems I’m wrong, though. Per Gibbs, it’s more like accusing someone of wetting their pants due to baseless pessimism. Two years ago in August the punditocracy thought he was going to lose the primary; last August they thought he was going to lose the election. Very wee-wee, baby. And this August? They’re calling ObamaCare an unholy clusterfark that’s been ineptly pitched to the public and tactically mismanaged by the White House. Who cares if Pelosi and her own majority leader can’t get their story straight about the public option? Remain calm. All is well. Resist the wee-wee at all costs. Click the image to watch.

So you’re like the king of wee-weeing.
BadgerHawk on August 21, 2009 at 7:44 PM
I’ve never heard anyone use the term. Ever.
Claypigeon on August 21, 2009 at 7:45 PM
He should have just said,”I have no idea” and left it at that.
He is a tool, but almost feel sorry for him having to clean up behind Obama and Bidens’ gaffes….Almost.
PappaMac on August 21, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I thought it was a French term…
d1carter on August 21, 2009 at 7:46 PM
3 out of 4 macacas prefer wee-wee.
CK MacLeod on August 21, 2009 at 7:46 PM
No, my pessimism isn’t baseless.
Allahpundit on August 21, 2009 at 7:46 PM
According to the other article, it is a trending topic. Second look at Twitter? The wee weed thing really, really gets me, for some reason.
Mommypundit on August 21, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Wouldn’t it have been better not to try to defend the word with a definition but rather play off a humble sort of Obama used a silly word just like everyone else does from time to time?
myrenovations on August 21, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Next Obama phrase: “Everybody is going potty out of the economy.”
Pasalubong on August 21, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Just imagine … just imagine if Bush had said that.
Good Lord … the press would still be peeing in their pants, or “wee wee’d up”.

…..and this little piggie cried “wee, wee, wee” all the way home.
evie on August 21, 2009 at 7:50 PM
The wee wee has hit the fan!
Guardian on August 21, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I have heard it. When I was little, my mother and sisters would be playing with babies. They would grab each little toe and call them “piggies” and wiggle each little toe.
The last little “piggie” went “wee wee wee, all the way home” was how the saying went. I’ve always assumed it ment he went home crying.
PappaMac on August 21, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I think my mom would use it when we were taking our dog out to go to the bathroom. She would say: “Let’s go wee-wee, let’s go poopers.”
Nah, you’re beta-male. There’s a difference. :-)
Rightwingguy on August 21, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I have never, ever heard a man speak like that. Oh, wait……
My disgust runneth over.
Cody1991 on August 21, 2009 at 7:51 PM
So is this for beta and alpha males alike?
wee wee: what all crying liberal congress critters have been doing even AFTER taking control of the government.
ConservativeJawa on August 21, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Apparently (at least according to dear leader), the last piggie went home with baseless pessimism.
Rightwingguy on August 21, 2009 at 7:52 PM

Ed, you need to do this.
rbj on August 21, 2009 at 7:52 PM
I thought it was “We weed up.” Like, “Wow, we’re so wasted. Uhhh….Pass it back man…”
29Victor on August 21, 2009 at 7:53 PM
What sophisticated discourse comes from the WH Press Secretary! Can you see Marlin Fitzwater actually saying that?
Beaglemom on August 21, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Another childhood memory shot to hell by the Won and only (thank god).
PappaMac on August 21, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Boy, Obama’s really elevating the national discourse with his potty jokes.
amerpundit on August 21, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Obama having used wee-wee’d in public and then his press secretary having to use the word during an official briefing means that the cool factor has finally worn off of this presidency. Mom jeans was just the tip of the ice berg.
myrenovations on August 21, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson on Hugh Hewitt just coined a great retort to ‘wee wee’:
‘InContinental Congress’
LMAO!!
mbo213 on August 21, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Please, God no! This “wee wee” crap is beyond stupid :(

gophergirl on August 21, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Hugh Hewitt’s producer asked if all of DC is wee-wee’d up does that mean we have an incontinental congress.

mbo213 on August 21, 2009 at 7:59 PM
This one has some staying power. Years from now, we’ll still be saying “he wee-wee’d that up real good” with Obama in the back of our minds.
innominatus on August 21, 2009 at 7:59 PM
They honestly are making EVERYTHING up as they go right now.

What do you expect to come out of the mouth of a beta male who wears mom jeans to a baseball game?
csdeven on August 21, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I think’ wee-weeing’ is when the President takes a late Friday afternoon whiz on us (9 trillion instead of 7- OOPS! ) and then runs to Marthas Vineyard without handing us a towell.
jjshaka on August 21, 2009 at 8:01 PM
In Kenya, or is it Indonesia?, it is said that a jigger of wee wee will improve your mogo, if you get caught in a water loo.
Dhuka on August 21, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I thought it was some reference to France: “oui oui”.
Whether that means in admiration for their healthcare system, or it means they’re ready to surrender… I don’t know.
malclave on August 21, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Instead of just having the stupid term go away they’re doubling down. Wee-wee’d will become synonymous with President Obama’s administration.
BadgerHawk on August 21, 2009 at 8:02 PM
You know I didn’t even know they made Mom jeans for men until he wore them.
gophergirl on August 21, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Man do I really miss President Reagan. It’s called dignity.

If we’re not supposed to get “wee-weed” about his re-election chances, can we still “pooh-pooh” his policies?

thomasaur on August 21, 2009 at 8:08 PM
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE
The hits just keep on coming. They barely get the firestorm about ‘wee-weed’ up under control then there is this from Gibblets.
“I have heard the president say that, if making tough decisions and getting important things done that Washington has failed to deal with for decades means that he only lives in this house and makes those decisions for four years, he’s quite comfortable with that,” Mr Gibbs told reporters.
“THIS HOUSE”…….?
PappyD61 on August 21, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Sheesh… I can’t even imagine that tool Scott McClellan saying that.
jana on August 21, 2009 at 8:10 PM
This can’t be helping Michelles’ kids.
Can you imagine first day at some snooty private school and their classmates teasing those two girls because Presidente Wee Wee can’t keep his stoopid trap shut and is so sure the whole world adores him that he can say any stoopid thing.
Is TOTUS broke, or sick and tired of this fool like the rest of us and deliberately sabatoging Pinnochio?
And Pinnochio accuses the cop of acting stoopidly?
dhunter on August 21, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Gibbs had a hard time answering……….
…….. He keeps thinking about jiggering Obama’s wee-wee.

faraway on August 21, 2009 at 8:16 PM
what I think is that someone in the WH, probably Rahmbo or Michelle, used the more explicit term “dicked-up” in Obama’s presence, most likely to denigrate a Republican or some average American citizen somwehere, Obama decided he would use it. But Obama knew he couldnt say it the way it is said on the streets of Chi-town, so…
Mike D. on August 21, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Obama has referred to it as his house, as in, “I have a movie theater on the first floor of my house.” Never have I heard any President call the white house “his” house.
As for wee wee, who talks like that? Seriously?

Wee-wee is a term that you use when talking to your two-year-old about going to the big-boy/girl potty, not a term that a competent professional in any field (let alone the POTUS) uses to describe a serious issue.
Illinidiva on August 21, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Federal 10 year deficit to go to 9 TRILLION. Kalifornia unemployment now at 11.9%.
Here at the White House, the press inquires of the most urgent news of the day, “What does wee-wee’d up mean?”.
Where would we be without the MSM. Besides having someone else in the highest office in the country.

The more Obama talks, the more brain cells I lose trying to make sense of it. I’d be better off, brain-cell wise, smoking crack on a daily basis than trying to figure out what the hell our genius president is saying. And let me be absolutely fuc*ing clear about that.
Rational Thought on August 21, 2009 at 8:29 PM
“Wee weed” is liberal for “I can’t swear about Repubs in public so I am going to say something made up and ironic and the proles who don’t know how cool I am will be all shocked. Meanwhile, all the cool kids will laugh like little kiddies at what rubes the Repubs are.”

Too frickin’ funny, and here’s the upside:
You libs lost the narrative on Bush’s malaprops. Same goes with the “I can see Russia from my house” BS. I don’t EVAH wanna hear about “strateregy” or however it goes, this wee-weed is major league baffoon-ery !!!!

I think Obama just opens his mouth and stuff comes out sometimes. This type of talk is so Presidential sounding.
I’m sure Lincoln, and the other great Presidents that the One has been compared with, must have said things just like this. No?
Oops, sorry. You mean this guy is not that great? Someone should tell the media.
b3026 on August 21, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Reporters need to dog Obama’s every vacation step by insistently asking him what the hell he meant by “wee-wee’d up“.
Yelling out among the dunes of the cape:
“Was it like the liitle Piggy going wee-wee-wee, Mr. President?!?!”
And another reporter screaming over the seaguls:
“Or, Mr. President, did you actually mean wee-wee, like pee-pee or ding-dong?!?!”
Lets get the level of journalism going on around Obama exposed for the puerile and embarrassing farce that it is and Barry the Childish revealed for the juvenile tyro doofus he is.
