OK having methinks at the end casts some doubt on the the strength of the sentiment expressed but it isnt that serious.

Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

That isn't what I meant. The placement of the 'methinks' doesn't matter unduly, it's the meaning of the word 'protest'. Gertrude meant it like someone 'protesting their innocence', and it's brilliantly ironic in the context of Hamlet's play.

You call that experience?

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

I would call it less experience than any president we have ever had. In fact, I would call it far less experience than most people pushing 50 who are not president.

What must it be like ... to be so transparent that you can't even see yourself?
