    Sycophant

    a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage.

    Obsequious

    obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

    Yep, that's you.

    Means what I think it means.

    What advantage do you think I'm gaining? What contact do you think I have with the candidate?

    It doesn't matter what advantage _I_ think you're getting. It matters what motivates _YOU_ to defend the crook no matter what.

    What motivates me to defend her is that it amuses me to argue with you.

    You might have had a point when it came to mags - he apparently actually tries to communicate with Trump.

    Since Hillary does not know or care who I am, and since I am making no attempt to change that, your use of the word 'sycophant' is incorrect. I seek no advantage from her. My life will be exactly the same whether or not I post here, aside from the lost productivity.

    Sycophant, nonetheless.

    You don't have to converse with the person, only benefit by their success.

    I'm happy to keep schooling you about politics, economics, and now it looks like I have to school you in english.

    It's not the accepted meaning of the word, but the first amendment guarantees you the right to misuse the language as you please. So carry on.

    Lesson #1. The dictionary is a book that defines the meaning of words.

    Sycophant

    a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage.

    Obsequious

    obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

    Where does it say one has to have any contact or converse with the person?

    You're obsessed with the woman.

    You've been listening to Trump too much. It doesn't work to say "I know you are, but what am I?"

    Anyone interested (that is, only me and you) can count up your posts about her, and my posts about her, and observe that the former number is much larger than the latter.

    You're obsessed with the woman.

    I haven't seen you this obsessed since Sarah Palin.

    I can't listen to Trump much. The networks and CNN don't air his speeches.

    Alas, poor Sarah. Poor, sweet, stupid Sarah. Ok, sweet doesn't really apply.

    I wonder if she wishes she'd played the racist card a little more, so that there wasn't so much attention to her lack of grey matter.

    I wonder if she's thinking 'gosh golly dagnabbit, if it weren't for those gotcha questions, that shoulda mighta oughta been me instead of Trump! I shoulda said from my house I could see Mexicans pourin' in over the border, you betcha'

    Ok, that was funny!

    I never tried rye whiskey before. Tastes good. Try rye.

    Haven't read more than this page, but I do know that Barfo's right and Denny's wrong. And a sycophant is a loony pachyderm.

    Yes! You might as well ask, is there a difference between a bodyman and a homeless guy with a ball peen hammer?

    We clowns have to go through a rigorous training program before we are allowed to lure children into the woods without supervision.

    So how many supervisors go with you when you do this?

    Well, none, I'm fully certified. But I do three shifts a week volunteering in the local woods with clown trainees, showing them the required density of vegetation, which soil types are best for digging shallow graves, etc. It's all about paying it forward.

    Now HCP has a supervisor position? Is there no end to his luck?
