Mr. Okrent ombuds where no man has ombudded before

Unattributed Source Watch: Last Sunday, in "Scenarios: What if They Lose? Calls to Reinvent a Party" Adam Nagourney wrote that Howard Dean "is said to have told associates that he believes an antiwar candidate would have fared better against Mr. Bush." Dean wrote me to insist he has not said anything of the sort to associates; Nagourney told me he relied on "Dean associates who said they heard Dr. Dean express this feeling."

Without a name attached to it, this just isn't news.

Wouldn't that be 'ombade'?

I like "ombudded"

Makes it sound like something that happens in the lifecycle of a protozoan.
