I watched a news show last night that had a person saying the only reason Miers was nominated is that she is a FOG.
Anyone want to take a stab at what that means?

I wasn't familiar with the first definition, (To put off or appease by deceitful or evasive means: needed help but was fobbed off with promises).
but I think that fits much better than the second one.
