I Finally Found It!!

I knew there was a word that describes certain politicians and while reading a column this morning, I found it: unctuous.

Before you wander off to dictionary.com, let me give you the meaning. Unctuous is described as being characterized by excessive piousness or moralistic fervor, esp. in an affected manner; excessively smooth, suave, or smug.

When I see President Obama with that upward head tilt, I will think of the word 'unctuous.' When I hear Nancy Pelosi tell me that after they pass a law we will find out what was in it, I will think of the word 'unctuous.' When Harry Reid opens his mouth, the word 'unctuous' will come to mind.

Words are fascinating aren't they? I think of myself as antediluvian and my kids would agree.
