Scumbaggery
According to this source:
Late last year, the Upper Darby police department -- and its ubiquitous media whore police superintendent, Michael Chitwood -- began selling t-shirts that read "Not in my town SCUMBAG!"
KYW 1060 now reports these shirts are "very popular," perhaps due to their liberal use of needless quotes. They're so popular a bunch of soldiers in Iraq are now getting them free, thanks to the Chitwood and Upper Darby police department. A woman from Upper Darby sported the shirt over in the sandbox, and apparently everyone was all into the shirts. (Will they get the "SCUMBAG" bumper stickers too?)
“I think that when you look at the analogy between Iraq and here in Upper Darby, you’re dealing with scumbags, you know. In Upper Darby it’s drug dealers, rapists, robbers but in Iraq, you’ve got terrorists who are killing American troops or killing civilians.”
Hey, this is a pretty good analogy, since the War on Drugs is going about as well as the War in Iraq.
I dislike the expression "media whore" but that's actually one of the least objectionable aspects of all this, I fear.
