The Definition of Smarmy.

smär-mē
adjective

Etymology:
smarm to gush, slobber

1 : revealing or marked by a smug, ingratiating, or false
earnestness
smarmy self-satisfaction.

2 : of low sleazy taste or quality.

Now you can call me 'prissy' or 'priggish'. Go ahead. But do we really need a gum-smacking, wink and nod, good at the one liners yet poor at extemporaneous thought hockey mom to be one heartbeat away from the presidency? Especially when the likes of Christine Todd Whitman were available?

I don't think so.

The problem with political jokes is they get elected.
Henry Cate VII


You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.
Abraham Lincoln

Democracy is a device that ensures that we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
George Bernard Shaw

The sad truth is that we do get the politicians we deserve.
