i will grant you that i was perhaps demonstrably in error when i selected the term in lieu of a more erudite description of his character such as deplorable fraudulent sack of trash but mind you i was not anticipating that my comment would spark a lengthy debate furthermore my comments were on a discussion page not an actual wikipedia article and while colorful adjectives are generally frowned upon for encyclical work discussion pages in my opinion should be more colloquial personally i'm quite fond of thomas paine norman finkelstein and bill hicks so perhaps i'm a bit biased on that matter
