Weasel
A small mammal, excellent at subterfuge, that resorts to trickery and guile to achieve what it wants. Traditionally weasels steal chickens. Most democrats shorter than 6 feet (and Carville) would qualify as weasels. In the modern era, possibly due to a lack of native habitat, weasels have begun to make in-roads in areas populated by humans. Two notable spots are Washington D.C. and my own workplace.
Weasels in the workplace are common all across America where they gravitate toward training and management positions. A working weasel is characterized by dishonesty, furtiveness, and a tendency to steal lunches from common refrigerators. Covey's notable book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" had a section on how to deal with weasels that was cut by a senior (weasel) editor. There is no good way to deal with a weasel. Lucky employees can work around them.
Some weasels end up in Washington D.C. and join political parties. These weasels can be referred to collectively as Democrats. The good news is that getting rid of them is as simple as voting. The bad news is a weasel with legitimate power can steal a lot of Chickens.
