William Shakespeare: Political Pundit.


I will tell you my drift. - Much Ado About Nothing





...idol of idiot worshippers...- Julius Caesar

...he has not so much brain as ear-wax. - Troilus and Cressida



The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes. - Coriolanus

God and good men hate so foul a liar. - Richard II



Triple-turned whore!- Antony and Cleopatra

Fouler than the heart can think thee, thou canst make no excuse current but to hang thyself! - Richard III



You act with great imagination proper to madmen. - Henry IV, Part 2

Put in every honest hand a whip to lash the rascal naked through the world! - Othello



She wak'd, and straightaway loved an ass. - A Midsummer Night's Dream



...that trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with the pudding in his belly... - Henry IV, Part 1

Mountain of mad flesh! - The Comedy of Errors

He sweats to death, and lards the lean Earth as he walks along. - Henry IV, Part 1





Anyone have any more? Come on, Shakespeare fans!

3. Kick for the late-afternoon crowd.
Sheesh! I thought this would be a popular thread, and it sank faster than the Lusitania!
