Gandalf: [to Pippin] Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir’s father. To give him news of his beloved son’s death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. In fact, it’s better if you don’t speak at all, Peregrin Took.
President Obama: [to Vice President Joe Biden] Now, listen carefully. Gates and Crowley are national news right now. To give the media a new Bidenism would be most unwise. And do not mention healthcare, or cap and trade. And say nothing of the stimulus either. In fact, it’s better if you don’t speak at all, Joe.
