Playing the Hitler Card
We say we would never play
that card
But we see that it has
been played
It lies upon the table
before us -
And whose febrile hand
placed it there?
The former address, "reactionary drivel," was a P. G. Wodehouse gag that few ever understood to be a mildly self-deprecating joke. Drivel, perhaps, but not reactionary. Neither the Red Caps nor the Reds ever got it.
