The degeneration of 'oxymoron' to 'moron' has IMHO a lot to do on its usage in regard to politics/politicians I would like to expand the moronically associated usage to include all forms of government (which is really the same as politics), such as corporate management, especially with regards to PHBs and the poor Dilberts whom they attempt to manage. "Military intelligence" and "government service" are two of the classical politically oriented phrases that helped engender the widespread assumption that oxymoronic and moronic are the same.
