During the conclave, I saw Thomas Reese on (I think) MSNBC as an "analyst". I wanted to whack him upside the head. He is just too smarmy.
It's not the first time I've seen him on television, and not the first time I wished I could whack him upside the head.
His Conclave appearances were my first glimpses at him. He's quite sly in the way he dissented there--only a couple of hints.
But 'smarmy' is a good descriptor.
Un-man-like is another.
