Second Lord

Believe it, my lord, in mine own direct knowledge, without any malice, but to speak of him as my kinsman, he's a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker, the owner of no one good quality worthy your lordship's entertainment.

Thanks, Garry Trudeau, for sparing us the mention of it's name.

And Thanks, brooklynite, for posting this!

When I came down to make my tea this morning. They referred to "President Trump" several times, called him "the former president" once and mentioned President Biden as "Biden" once.

Given the nature of the interview, (not 100% clear on details, but it touched on Republicans being unified and "saving" our country) I can intellectually understand bringing What'shisname up in the discussion. But repeatedly referring to him with his past title just seemed like a gratuitous way to goose the viewers' dopamine levels.

Why thou globe of sinful continents, what a life dost thou lead!

Thy bones are hollow; impiety has mad a feast of thee.

(Thou art) a pipe for Fortune's finger to sound what stop she please.
