My Favorite Mug Shots... Chapter One.
pompous
adj.
1. Characterized by excessive self-esteem or exaggerated dignity; pretentious: pompous officials who enjoy giving orders.
egoist
n.
1. One devoted to one's own interests and advancement; an egocentric person.
sociopath
n.
1. One who displays a personality disorder characterised by a continuous and persistent pattern of aggressive behaviour in which the rights of others are violated.
You know, it struck me today that it's sort of a shame that dictionaries don't have a separate, single listing for a "pompous, egotistical sociopath,"... if only because we now have the perfect picture to accompany such an entry.
* (Note: Originally there was a copy of Tom DeLay's mug shot here. That was the joke, see? Tee hee?)
Tee hee!
