   That’s not true. You could have guessed the Tennyson quote.

   I would have gone with Keats.

   I dunno, considering the occasion, maybe something by Windfred Owen might have been more appropriate.

   Or ‘Wilfred’ Owen (as the case might be).

   Lewis Carroll would seem more appropriate as Blago continues to play the Mad Hatter.

   You give me Tennyson—I got some Tennyson for ya!

   Was there a man dismay’d?
   Not tho’ the soldier knew
   Someone had blunder’d:
   Their’s not to make reply,
   Their’s not to reason why,
   Their’s but to do and die:
   Into the valley of Death

   OK, anyone want to guess who will be the next poet Blago quotes? My guess: Upon his conviction by the Senate he will thank all the “friends” who have helped sustain him and quote Yeats’s “The Municipal Gallery Re-visited”. (“Think where man’s glory most begins and ends/And say my glory was I had such friends.”)

   David T.:

   Voltaire’s Candide or maybe Clay Davis’s trial testimony from ‘The Wire’.
