Penultimate arrogance: " . . . people this Administration, and the President in particular, disdains. You scrape 'em off your shoes--and keep going."

you may have wondered where that feeling of being something scraped off someone's shoes came from... now you know...

The critics are conducting their conversations with the President's men in polite code, such as asking how they can help.

You scrape 'em off your shoes--and keep going."
