[George] Shultz [has signaled] that he [is] discussing issuing a joint endorsement of Hillary Clinton with Henry Kissinger.
***************************
Trump’s campaign staff should get to work on their tweets asap, since there’s speculation the men might make the announcement on Labor Day.
One source for some great Kissinger tweets would be Christopher Hitchens’ book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger. Example:
[Americans] can either persist in averting their gaze from the egregious impunity enjoyed by a notorious war criminal and lawbreaker, or they can become seized by the exalted standards to which they continually hold everyone else.
Don’t say it’s from Hitchens, of course; I don’t think Hitchens would, uh, be supporting Trump.
***************************
One danger of not citing the author, however, is that no one’s going to believe Trump knows the words egregious and impunity…
Actually, now that I look at the thing, the rather lengthy sentence, and the well-deployed either/or formulation, are also deal breakers… Let’s see…
Kissinger: War criminal! Lawbreaker! Sad!
***************************
A second set of tweets could feature the advanced age of both men.
Kissinger! Shultz! Sharing a condo in Seizure World! Sad!
George and Henry sittin’ in a tree… IN SEIZURE WORLD. Sad!
There are many variants of these. You might mention Ronald Reagan. I leave it to the imagination of the Trump campaign.

Bernie should have to wear a sackcloth and ashes when he campaigns for Hillary…

So this is the old “sitting in a tree k_i_s_s_i_n_g(er).”
Also popular in the 70’s “I wonder who’s Kissinger now.”

Greg: I totally didn’t remember that!
Can’t believe I didn’t remember my father singing “I wonder who’s Kissinger now.” Thanks for the reminder.
