(9,260 posts)I'll spin it to dRumkopf, in future insulting harangues.
The quote had to be truncated to fit in the sig line box limits. Here's a fuller version:
Paphlagonian tanner, an arrogant rogue, the incarnation of calumny, a domineering and dishonest slave who has rendered life intolerable for others and had to be gotten rid of, a brutal master, a perfect glutton for beans, ... bad-tempered, a fawning cur, a robber..., detested, a yawning gulf of plunder, a villain a thousand times a day, an imposter, a dull varlet, a thief, a cheat who flutters from one extortion to another, and helps himself with both hands from the public funds, an Inspector of Arses, with a pigs education, and a man whose death would be a happy day for the rest of the Athenians and their children -- Aristophanes (describing the corrupt ruler Cleon), from Joe Heller's Picture This
The 'tanner' part is what first caught my eye, re the ancient quote's relevance to our current situation. By the 14th word of the quote it looked like an almost perfect match.
I remember the failure of the '1000 year reich' prediction, and pig Rove's 'permanent repug majority' idea. And this current bumbling nazi is coming apart at the seams, flying apart as he whirls around, like a tasmanian devil, enacting his agenda.
None of these nazis inhabit reality, so they run into brick walls eventually. The relatively short half life of evil is being displayed. He carries the entire world inside his head, but it's a cartoon alt-reality version of the world, where li'l donnie is the center of the universe and most important thing ever.
Whatta balloon head.
Hang tough, Karma.
