Senator Benjamin Sasse would have you believe he’s the Golden Boy of Nebraska, wholesome as detasseled corn.
But upon closer scrutiny . . .
Holy Grawlixes!
Senator Benjamin Sasse is in fact . . .
A vampire of virtue.
A panderer of public trust.
A Dark Prince of Misprision.
“There is some strange misprision in the princes.”
—William Shakespeare
“O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.”
—William Blake
