Kenpoon: The rather inadvertent, indirect, unfortunate and somewhat tragic lampooning of the Kennedy Clan (or some other notable American family) through some derivative vehicle. The portmanteau of lampoon and Kennedy. Reference: Such as witnessed last night (Tuesday, May 5, 2009) on Hardball with Chris Matthews wherein the panel derisively addressed the so-called "drinking issue" as discussed in the latest issue of Vanity Fair's excerpt of the new Ted Kennedy (Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died) book. Albeit, the panel (including Chris Matthews) inadvertently "kenpooned" the drinking issue. (See paragraph 8, page 4 of the excerpt from Vanity Fair).
Example: Chris and his producers should have avoided kenpooning Ted Kennedy in their review of the book excerpt from the magazine. (And, perhaps, so should we...).
