he was quoting us saying that the gqp is working for the russians. So, he's using nutty voices and laughing hysterically in between. He really does sound like he's hysterical- like seriously, he's cracking up because he's been called out as a russian sympathizer. I was thinking of the shakespeare line: "Meethinks thou dost protest too much." which is what you do when you're on hyper-defensive because you know you're wrong.

Just like "wherefore" isn't the same (it's "why&quot .

In Hamlet, "protest" was meant as "making a vow." The queen in the fake play was proclaiming her love for her husband the queen a LOT and that is when she said "Methinks she doth protest too much." It's related to how we use it, but it's a misquote for the most part.

Or did you mean Fox? What did you ask them to change it to, something other than news?

a session--if nothing else but to at least temporarily remove the smirk from his beyond-annoying face?

I think he's afraid he's losing relevancy, so he's ramping up the act.

May a sick elephant poo on him.
