The GOOPs. My announcement.

I have renamed the Republican Party, the Grand Old Obstructionist Party or the GOOPs, which is what I will use to refer to them from this moment forward. Tell me if you like it.

The Goops
by Gillette Burgess

The Goops they lick their fingers
And the Goops they lick their knives:
They spill their froth on the tablecloth
Oh, they lead disgusting lives!
The Goops they talk while eating,
And loud and fast they chew;
And that is why I'm glad that I
Am not a Goop, are you?

Thanks! I love it. The GOOPs despicableness goes beyond table manners.

I also refer to them at the GOTB...as if you're not a teabagger, you're an obstructionist and generally both.
