This Is Not "Or." This Is "Both/And"

Commenting on Obama's decision to tattle on Arizona to the United Nations (OMG! What Shame!!), we have AOSHQ's Laura:

When you insist on doing these things, this is what most other American citizens think to themselves:

* Our President and our State Department are pathetic sniveling poodles to repugnant regimes that do not share our values and who hate us.

* Our President's administration does not serve their fellow citizens, but disdains them, and do not seem particularly moved by commonsense demands for safety and rule of law.

I dunno. "Pathetic sniveling poodles" is a bit too kind.

How about "festering virus-laden pustules"?
