Denver Riggleman on @MSNBC just referred to this admin as a Blue Falcon Administration.
A "blue falcon" is a military term that describes a colleague who acts in a way that is detrimental to their team or colleagues, often while benefiting themselves.

Just renewed my driver’s license. Scared myself with the photo. Is anyone happy with their DMV photo?
