(Implies lots of hurried dressing and rushed changing of clothes in a cramped telephone booth.) Oh well, after changing, isn’t the telephone booth rather confused and copied-esthetic of a teenager’s coryfrantic efforts before a date?

Shep out? What happened to Fox? Throwing a bone to conservatives? Maybe he will join Anderson Cooper.
The fake news hate crews,
with corybantic antics,
live to dump on Trump.

So far, just rumors.
