“Sim verghona”. Thanks... I’ll have to remember that one.
In the old days that was called “Rubbing your nose in it”
There's a Spanish version of it, too: sin verguenza and I've always found it to express things that we, in English, once were able to say but no longer can.

That would be typical for the lowlife.

Don’t forget K. T. McFarland whose criticism of O’s blunders has been scathing.
Amen...She’s been driving the libtards nuts.
“this luftmentsh...)
How perfectly perfect. We should use this to identify The One -

November 6th is National Obama repudiation Day...
Obama will go down in the anals of history.
The Latin phrase would be sine verecundia. In Italian it would be senza vergogna and in French sans vergogne.
Sauron, I love your tagline! How very true!
