I don't understand all your adjectives, but they sure look nasty. And, nasty brings to mind the Clintons. I agree with the author, I hate them too.

Clinton on the other hand was the chief corrupt boil on the body politic, the master prestidigitator and mountebank, the source of the putresence that permeated the government during his vile rule.

A prestidigitator is one skilled in legerdemain or sleight of hand; a juggler [legerdemain means sleight of hand...or... any artful deception or trick

A mountebank is 1. One who mounts a bench or stage in teh market or other public place and sells quack medicines; a traveling quack doctor. 2. Any boastful and unscrupulous pretender; a man of trickery and buffoonery; a charlatan.

putresence is a synonym for putrid (from which it derives) which means: 1. Decomposed; especially in ad advanced stage of decomposition; rotten; also, tending to decomposition or decay; stinkingly rotten. 2. Of, pertaining to, indicating, or proceeding from, a decayed state fo organic matter; foul; as a putrid smell. 3.a. Figuratively, currupt; noisome; foul; morally vicious. b. Slang Disagreeable; displeasing.
All definitions from Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition 1934, 1948.

See, the perfect description of Clinton!
