Phrase of the year? "Arlen Specter disorder"

[Joel S. Berson]

"Prickly City", by Scot Stantis, May 22:

[Winslow:] "I no longer fit in the coyote pack!  I am now a cat!!!"

[Carmen:]  "Oh, great.  Now he's got Arlen Specter disorder ..."

And, I think, once or twice earlier in the week.

The only Google hit for "Arlen Specter disorder" (in quotes) is:

Michael Says:
...
Leonard Lance, Chris Christie, Bill Baroni, Dick
Zimmer; they all suffer from ADS; Arlen Specter
DISORDER and should be replaced from any office
they hold, or prevented from winning any office
they want, at least as long as they claim to be a Republican.

Arlen Specter has a personality disorder



 and that disorder is that he wants to remain in
the Senate, where he has served for twenty-nine
years, at the age of 79. I don’t care about his
party or his ideology (zzzzz
), whatever it is. I
care about his narcissistic inability to move on. Enough already!

Specter’s self-indulgent and obviously
self-interested change of parties is yet another argument for term limits.

(And a few for "Arlen Spector" and "disorder",
understandable perhaps since Wikipedia redirects that to "Arlen Specter".)
