6. A shrivel.
As in shrivelled up. It is not only the look of a used up tea bag, it also describes most of the Tea Party demonstrators.

It is also the state of the Tea Party approval ratings; shrivelling up.

I like several of them; "spite" seems to work for me.

22. A moringe
I posted this a couple of days ago as a rhyme for orange:

I've invented a rhyme for orange

Edited on Wed Aug-24-11 06:55 PM by LiberalEsto
The word is moringe (n),

It's a combination of "moronic" and "fringe" and can be used to describe Teabaggers and other rightwingnuts.

Examples:

A half dozen members of the moringe demonstrated at our congressperson's town hall meeting.

Sarah Palin is a total moringe.

Fux News is definitely aimed at the moringe.

Even though John Boehner is orange,
he's beholden to the moringe.

26. I just usually refer to them in the collective as "tea-scum".
You know, like the detritus at the bottom of a teacup when you use a cheap teabag made with fannings, dust and other low-grade broken leaf-segments.
