Polonius the Felonious

Posted 1/13/20

To the Editor: In the Washington Post (Jan. 1) George Will wrote an article about Pete Buttigieg describing how he is able to get voters to see different things in him, and he used a scene from Hamlet to illustrate his point.

However, I think the scene between Hamlet and Polonius (either a wise old man or a meddlesome fool), where Hamlet toys with the old man, is more illustrative of Donald Trump and his sycophants in Congress.
