From Yahoo! sports in an article about Olympic snowboader Lindsay Jacobellis and her bid for Gold at the Vancouver games after missing out in the 2006 games in Torino, Italy:
"The 2010 Games gave Jacobellis an opportunity for redemption, and while NBC didn’t climb about her bandwagon as it did prior to 2006, it is always willing to sate those who froth for such pabulum. Jacobellis failed. Redemption, if she even believes in such a thing, will have to wait for another four years."

So, it's clear that in this article he wanted to use unique words like 'sate' and 'pabulum' but typed 'about' instead of 'aboard'.
The sentence clearly should have read, "....and while NBC didn’t climb aboard her bandwagon as it did prior to 2006...."
This error sort of negates the use of the use of 'sate' and 'pabulum', which by the way, in case you're wondering, means 'material for intellectual nourishment'.
