Well, I didn't say it: The Bard did. (Henry V)

Reading the post and cogitatin' late events, I was struck by the similarities between the way folks view GW, and the way King Harry was dismissed by the French as a ne'er-do-well pretender to royal station: more inclined to drink, jape and caper, than to seriously--and effectively--assume to mantle of England's throne.

Harry kicked butt....so will GW.

P.S. The kids will really like Kenneth Brannaugh's version of Henry V. Then they can read the play, after they get the gist and flavor of 15th century syntax. Great way to introduce them to Shakespeare!

Ah, we happy few!

Does this mean that Iraq will be Dubya's Agincourt? Will the 'nattering nabobs of negativism' be questioning their manhood when it is all said and done?
