Default The criminal cried as he dropped him down...

Kellyanne Conway has just told Fox News that she was in the room with Donald Trump when his lawyer's ghostwritten tweet about the FBI came in. To which I say:

Now though you'd have said that head was dead
(For its owner dead was he),
It stood on its neck, with a smile well-bred,
And bowed three times to me!
It was none of your impudent off-hand nods,
But as humble as could be;
For it clearly knew
The deference due
To a man of pedigree


Update - here is the piece entire, from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfIwnehelT8

I guess my point is in the closing lines of the song:

This haughty youth,
He speaks the truth
Whenever he finds it pays:
And in this case
It all took place
Exactly as he says!
