I think it’s safe to say that there is a whole cadre of whifflers in Washington today, listening intently for the chief whiffler to change his mind, sometimes several times a day. Thus, whiffling has become the main strategy for self-preservation, with appropriate obsequious demonstrations of bootlicking, and ring-kissing. It is possible that there will soon be a Department of Whiffling. There are so many candidates for Secretary, the post will be filled in no time at all, possibly without a hint of a whiffle. Amelia Earhart used to be a visiting professor at Purdue University, doncha know? Bet she never whiffled.
