snollygoster

A 19th century coinage, meaning a crooked and flamboyant politician. Later, in Maryland folklore, a monster half bird and half snake, that was used to frighten ex-slaves out of voting.

George W. Bush in only the latest in a long line of snollygosters who have occupied the White House.
