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.

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.)

Nice work, channeling Marshal Dillon!
