But, here it is: He is a useful idiot savant. It's a term I came up with to describe the sell-outs in my community. A useful idiot savant is someone who is astute enough to know he's being used, or exploited; intellectually aware that he will profit by playing along; and devious enough to know that he can claim plausible deniability if the whole thing falls apart. In other words, he's a premeditated useful idiot.
