[Peace-discuss] NPR denies fomenting war with Iran

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Ommmmmmmmm...budsman.

wikipaedia sez:  The origin of the word is found in Old Norse umbuðsmann 
(accusative)
and the word umbuds man, meaning representative (with the word 
umbud/ombud meaning proxy,
that is someone who is authorized to act for someone else, a meaning it 
still has in the Scandinavian languages)

in other words, an apologist or "toady".
