<quote>In President Trump's cabinet of kakistocrats, it's the scoundrels and 
fools who often get the attention. There's Ben Carson and his magic dining 
set, the Blue Angels dropping hundreds of thousands in taxpayer cash on first
class and private air travel, and Rick Perry suggesting we subsidize 
coal. There's also Ryan Zinke, a Blue Angel himself, who's looking at selling 
off around the edges of every national monument you can think of. But the
serious ones-the Adults in the Room-don't feature as often.  Jack 
Holmes, "No one knows how anything works," Esquire (Google News), March 28 2018,

What's a Blue Angel?  Anything like a Blue Dog (which I believe means a right-wing Democrat)?

The only Blue Angels I am familiar with is an Air Force show-off flying group, which made the 3rd line above "the Blue Angels dropping..." sound like fighter planes dropping leaflets.
