The viperine nonsense spilling from the mouths of Jay Carney, Harry Reid and the usual suspects about Benghazi would be laughable if the subject were not so serious.

The kids of the town were all terrified of old Farmer Hately. With his vicious stare and viperine tongue, he was mean as an acre of snakes.

I just made it up. :-) But, the “mean as an acre of snakes” phrase is something I recently heard “Chester” say on an old-time radio episode of Gunsmoke (from the mid-1950s).

I agree with the synonyms. (By the way, it looks like your tagline got cut off.)

the viperine vixen is attempting to extort the racist. Not very bright considering she appears to have illegally taped the original conversation.
