The Race Is Won

In the contest to supplant "horsefuckers" as the noun most accurately describing neoconservative politicians, corporate titans, et alia, we are pleased to announce a winner: Phredward, aka Unclesiggy, has hit the figurative nail on the figurative head with "coprocrats."

Phredward is well known as the smartest motherfucker you're bound to meet, but we're still not precisely sure what is so darned appealing about his term. Simultaneously, it comehow suggests mimetic imitation of behavior (copycats) as much as it does shitheads (coprocaps), shitleaders as much as shiteaters (coprophages). All in all, we have here a truly grand term that nicely evokes the truly shitty job that the global leadership is doing. Or not doing, as the case may be.

Well done, Unclesiggy! You win a bottle of excellent Roman grappa, a heaping helping of penne alla amatriciana (to be named and delivered later), and a one-year subscription to Der Pferdficker magazine. Use them all wisely and separately.
