Gee, as near as I can tell after about 90 seconds of googling, I'm the author of this phrase, which I use all the time on DU and elsewhere.
I hope it gets plagiarized a lot and becomes part of the lexicon. I thought I stole it from Thom Hartmann or Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow or some other great mind? But no, as near as I can tell, I invented it.
Another meme I wish would go big is Bill Maher's term; ZOMBIE LIES He did a bit about it two weeks ago that I discovered on DU, and it's freaking BRILLIANT. And nine syllables less than my work above.
"There is no shame in their game."
Another phrase which I've shopped all over DU, to the delight of nobody at all what so ever, is:
OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS

Which I made into a bumper sticker and recently peeled off my vehicle because I'm starting a new job soon and don't want to get blackballed on my first day. And I have about ten extra.
This one also resonated with virtually nobody but me, but I still like the challenge of compressing complex issues down to bumper sticker size.
FWIW
