New word coined on Franken today: "Resmuglican"

[chalky]

Describing the lethal combination of arrogance & incompetence in the current administration.

I'll be using that one often.

1. Sorry. Not getting it.

[JHB]

5. Smug + Republicans

9. I've always liked "Repubelickin'"

It's utterly disgusting.

"Reshmucklican" would be too awkward and really far too kind.

12. Interesting how we "hateful liberals" think alike

I was trying to brainstorm as much wordplay and compare it with what's out there (OK, I'm bored, I'll admit it). Google is serving as the measuring stick.

17. Playing subtle word games isn't quite succinct enough.

Personally, I find the phrase 'Dumb Fucks' is the best.

Get too cutesy, and they may not comprehend the insult, but I haven't met one yet who hasn't understand my meaning when I use that phrase.
