I also want to include older political buzz-words. The earliest ones I can think of are
"Clintonian" (implying a Clinton-like legalistic dodging of the truth with evasive wording, i.e., "it all depends what the definition of 'is' is.")
And more annoying for me from the Clinton years,
"pushing the envelope". Metaphorically describing taking a risk to advance a political agenda. Explained as a number that's too large to discuss in a group meeting, so someone writes it down on an envelope, and pushing it across the table to the person who will either accept or reject it. And all through the Clinton years, the adoring media was constantly on every Clinton action saying "pushing the envelope, pushing the envelope..."
That, I think, was the first of these buzz-words that really grated on me.
