Well, in light of the topic of this thread, I, for one, might very
well call The Lawn Jockey of The Republican Right a "porch monkey."

Once that we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity,
or evil intent, we can uncumber ourselves of the impossible burden of
trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition
that we could be in error, without necessarily deeming ourselves
idiotic or unworthy.
