"Fools, lightweights, mountebanks, kinky libertines, and public omadhauns"

Yesterday, continuing my grousing about the lizard-brain levels of American political discourse, I wrote:

And at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, once word filtered down that Republican members of Congress wouldn't be required to engage in the pesky, wonky, know-it all-ism of oversight, such tedious fact-finding (and -remembering) would quickly be pushed aside for more important matters: campaign fundraising and preparing the way for individual Members' eventual slide over to right-leaning lobby shops on K Street.

Over at TAPPED, Brother Pierce points to a classic example (from Ohio--are you surprised?) stumbling around in our very midst, adding:

Among its other effects, the "Gingrich Revolution" created a framework in which an incredible passel of fools, lightweights, mountebanks, kinky libertines, and public omadhauns managed to get themselves elected to Congress.

Admit it: You had to go look up "omadhuans" too, didn't you?
