A couple disjointed thoughts:
-- I've heard civil servants with no detectable publishing or political ambitions (high up in the State Dept. and in the violent apparatus of the American state) describe the Bushvolk in similar terms: as a small but fanatical group that seized key positions in the American state. That is a convenient interpretation in that it absolves one of responsibility for what has happened in the Bush years. However, that such an interpretation is convenient doesn't necessarily make it untrue.
-- What with the contortionist, secret readings of texts, Leo Strauss seems as important as Carl Schmitt to the Bush cabal.
