From the article:
I can almost imagine a learned seminar being convened here in Washington wherein the assembled gogues excogitate precisely how many incoming Hamas missiles will warrant one air strike or more.
Anybody know the definition of the bolded word? I can't find a definition anywhere. Maybe it's a typo?

Possibly a shortened form of demagogue, but I've never seen it before. Taken in the context of the sentence, I believe that's it.

Probably a coined word intended to cover demagogues, pedagogues ... whatever.

In context I rather admired the surprise.
