Quiz Description

You may know Charlie Pierce from his work for Grantland, or appearances on Only a Game. But he also is the primary contributor to Esquire's politics blog, and in that role has given nicknames to various people and things. Given that nickname (or in at least one case, a descriptor), name the person. NOTE: Pierce is a staunch liberal, so most of these relate to Republicans. Apologies for any offense to your political sensibilities.
