noun

The head hypocrite. A duggar not only rails against behaviour he gleefully does in private, but he leads the parade against said behaviour.

In Psychoanalysis there is a defense mechanism called reaction formation where a person behaves in an opposite way to his private behaviour, which is fueled by a repressed impulse. The duggar, however, is conscious of and delights in the forbidden private behaviour.

The orders of magnitude are thus: There is denial; reaction formation is denial on steroids; being a duggar is reaction formation on steroids.
Larry Craig was, for the most part, a hapless guy in denial, but Ted Haggard was a full-blown duggar.

Sam: Oh, maybe that’s why Newt was smiling in the photo–he must have thought Erickson was a Tiffany Rep declaring him their millionth customer.
