A plaque remaining from the Big Apple Night Club at West 135th Street and Seventh Avenue in Harlem.

Above, a 1934 plaque from the Big Apple Night Club at West 135th Street and Seventh Avenue in Harlem. Discarded as trash in 2006. Now a Popeyes fast food restaurant on Google Maps.

IINO (Independent In Name Only)

IINO (Independent In Name Only) is a spinoff term from the earlier RINO (Republican In Name Only). “RINO” is cited in print from 1992; “IINO” has been cited in print since September 2005.
 
The awkwardly spelled “IINO” (perhaps pronounced like “I know”) has been infrequently used on political blogs.

You seem to have a lot of trust in Bush here. Remember, he’s the guy who decided that a failed horse laywer would be a good head of FEMA. Why oppose a real independent investigation, not an investigation that would be IINO (Independent In Name Only, like yourself)?

IINO means Independent In Name Only. Most of her support comes from trial lawyers and teacher’s unions.

btw, what the hell is an IINO?  Don’t make up words-the phrase sounds stupid.  To be independent means you can sometimes take a pro-Bush standpoint, you know.

After all, we do have two independents in the Senate (though one is officially in the Joementum party).
Joementum is an IINO (Independent in name only). He might as well go all the way and become a Republican.

As Bill continued to rig his column, he puts on his IINO (Independent In Name Only) wolf’s clothing to write that “In the end, it is a great disservice to all Americans to politicize the war on terror.”

IINO (Independent in Name Only)
So Russia is now claiming that South Ossetia and Abkhazia are free countries independent of Georgia. Oh really?
