Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some
farcical aquatic ceremony. If I went around saying I was an Emperor
because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd lock me up.
I laugh just thinking of the inflection Michael Palin puts on "some
moistened bint"
I really need to get out more.
