Almost a riff on "Elephantiasis" - a symptom of a variety of diseases, where parts of a person's body swell to massive proportions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephantiasis

Obscenely swollen self-entitlement complex. I often refer to it as "The World's Biggest Entitlement Program."

It's not Welfare. It's not the ACA. It's not Social Security or Medicare.

It's the GOP's smug, arrogant, and long-prevailing belief that THEY ALONE are entitled to rule. Only THEY are supposed to be running things. And telling YOU what to do and what to say and what to think and what to believe.

That whole "YES I'm bipartisan! YOU BET! I'm TOTALLY into that! YOU simply do it MY way, and that's true bipartisanship! And we'll get along just fine!"
