A politician or other political figure who is controlled by another (sometimes illegitimate or secret) person or party. The controller ("puppeteer") uses the puppet's granted power to further their intentions.

See also George W. Bush and Karl Rove.

Big ol' Dubya was Rove's political puppet. Rove called the shots, Bush just
listened.

Get the Political puppet mug.
Used to describe a person who has no original thoughts, opinions, or ideas of his/her own. Instead they regurgitate the "party-line" or talking points of others; usually of their particular political party.

Sock puppets can be seen on FauxNews and on Talk Radio. The GOP will put out its talking points and you can pick out the sock puppets because they will repeat the talking points; usually words for word.

Sock puppets can be seen among the Democrats and Left as well typically among young liberals who have adopted liberal bias without actually thinking. These specimens exist but are far more uncommon than amoung the Republicans, conservatives, christians and other right-wingers. Whose sock puppets cover the entire spectrum, as right-wingers are more likely to accept things on faith alone. Because if their leaders say its true, then it has to be true.

1. Get a clue! You're Dubya's sock puppet.
2. Limbaugh is a GOP sock puppet.
3. Look you sock puppet if I wanted to hear from you I'd turn on FauxNews.
4. "It's Clintons fault."
5. The GOP speaks and the mouths of a thousand political sock puppets move.

Examples of people who are Political Sock Puppets are
Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Bill O'reilly
George W Bush
Tony Snow
Every "Ditto-head"
Most christians
Almost all conservatives
ALmost all Republicans
