the worthless word for the day is: jackpudding

a clown; a buffoon; a merry-andrew

"Booth had bitterly complained to the Commons that the drearest
interests of his constituents were intrusted to a drunken jackpudding."
- Thomas Babington Macaulay, "The History of England"

1. What are the "drearest interests" (unless it simply a typo)
2 If Booth is an MP, how would the interests of his constituents be intrusted to anyone else?
3. "Jackpudding" is very likely a synonym for "wanker" ("pudding" at one time meant "sausage")
