David T.:

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

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.”)

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

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

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

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

I would have gone with Keats.

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