Paging John Major:

NSFW Cartoon

Major was Margaret Thatcher's "gray man in a suit" successor in the 1990s.

Not sure if he's a US NBC.

Correct NSFW link.

The "Cone Hotline" was Major's big idea.

I vaguely recall that attitude a few years back:

Thomas Gage, Captain General and Governor in Chief of His Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay to William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth and Secretary of State for the Colonies, July 5, 1773:

"Since my letter No. 3 of 26th Ulmo, a Number of the better Sort of People attended a Town-Meeting at Boston with Design to make a Push to pay for the Tea, and annihilate the Committee of Correspondence; but they were outvoted by a great Majority of the lower Class...

What does that even mean? That he doesn't like Carhart. That he doesn't like the vulgar, like Jay Nordlinger at NRO. In film, nobody depicts it better than the Brits casting a British diplomat, debating while drinking tea.

DAVID BROOKS: Well, I wish we had gray men in suits. We don't have that.

Nor have you any balls.

David Brooks: "I Wish We Had Gray Men In Suits" To Take Out Trump, Cruz

GRAY MEN?

This is just effing weird.

Raises some hackles, too, like there's something people aren't telling us about.

[Jimmy Valentine]

It means that he wishes “hit men” would take out Cruz and Trump. Despicable punk.

[ronnie raygun]

This is a threat lock him up

[CodeToad]

“You can say that again!”

Ya know, if you practice it, it just rolls right off the tongue!

Might be a “Wheel of Time” reference......Gray Men were shadowspawn assassins.

And have the right donors no doubt.
