Up to that point I was mentally constructing an observation to the effect that Obie's rhetoric has become as purple and detestable as Woodie Wilson's, but the old Jersey Klansman never delivered himself, so far as I know, of anything at that level of smarminess.
Our pal Jack Crow has a more extensive comment on the Caesaropope's hommage a Pericles, which really kinda says it all.
