The perfect line for this perfectly awful bad man.

I got out my Riverside Shakespeare to research a posting for today, and it fell open to this page from Measure For Measure. Up until then, I hadn't made up my mind if Putin and the Crimea crisis would be the subject for this week. As soon as my eyes went to that line, I knew I had it.

Thank you, Will!
