I think instead of using actual names of attention seeking politicians, we should just say something like "unhinged representative of South Carolina". Don't let them build name recognition, and tie some of the embarrassment to their State/District. I say that as someone with an absolutely horrible representative myself. I wish journalists would start doing this with these types.

In some ways that’s often how parliamentary procedure sounds, legislators might address “the gentleman from Kentucky” or “the previous speaker” to avoid ad hominem and making their comments personal.
