Posted by Gagdad Bob at April 10, 2009 12:42 PMObama's attitude reminds me of the faint-hearted cops in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance: (appropriate operetta, one might say)
Sergeant: When a felon's not engaged in his employment –
Police: His employment,
Sergeant: Or maturing his felonious little plans –
Police: Little plans,
Sergeant: His capacity for innocent enjoyment –
Police:'Cent enjoyment
Sergeant: Is just as great as any honest man's –
Police: Honest man's.
Sergeant:Our feelings we with difficulty smother –
Police: 'Culty smother,
Sergeant: When constabulary duty's to be done –
Police: To be done.
Sergeant: Ah, take one consideration with another –
Police: With another,
Sergeant: A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
Police: Ah!
All: When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done,
A policeman's lot is not a happy one, happy one.
Sergeant: When the enterprising burglar's not a-burgling –
Police: Not a-burgling.
Sergeant: When the cut-throat isn't occupied in crime –
Police:'Pied in crime,
Sergeant: He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling –
Police: Brook a-gurgling,
Sergeant: And listen to the merry village chime –
Police: Village chime.
Sergeant: When the coster's finished jumping on his mother –
Police: On his mother,
Sergeant: He loves to lie a-basking in the sun –
Police: In the sun.
Sergeant: Ah, take one consideration with another –
Police: With another,
Sergeant: A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
Police: Ah!
All: When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done,
A policeman's lot is not a happy one, happy one.
