Andrea Mitchell ("journalist") comments on Ted Cruz's comment.

(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. -

What I found illuminating was how many of her followers jumped right in with her.

That's the story.

That's one of my favourite Shakespearean quotes.
It's ironic how many people piled on with her, and also how many people who are now piling on against her probably had no freaking idea where the quote came from, either.
I can't speak for the rest of the country, but my kids have been far too busy learning about America to do much Shakespeare.
