Worms, Drugs, and the Worst and the Dumbest

Mixed metaphors.  Linguistic ayahuasca.  Two lesser psychedelics combine.  Sum greater than parts.  And all hell breaks loose.  Figuratively.  Or hallucinogenically.  Though hopefully not hallucinogenically.  That'd be a bummer.

Anyway, a good example from a few days ago:

And, what's perhaps worse, the guys supposed to be reining them [bankers, soulless quants, the worst and the dumbest, in Umair's opinion anyway] in are drinking the banking lobby's snake oil, hook, line, and sinker.

Drinking snake oil, hook, line, and sinker.  Makes me think of really ferocious tequila worms.
