“Great Caesar’s Ghost!” 0

I always associated that phrase with the old Superman television show starring George Reeves, in which it was often uttered by Perry White, Clark Kent’s editor at The Daily Planet.

I don’t know the origin of that phrase, but I just learned that it is much older than the 1950s, as it occurs in Mary Roberts Rinehart’s More Tish, which Rinehart wrote a century ago after her stint as a war correspondent in WWI.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

Only really weak, insecure, pathetic, or painfully obsequious individuals like Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump would admire and praise Vladimir Putin, a coward who hides from his own people, while sending troops to carry out bloody attacks on citizens of a friendly neighboring country.
