reminded me of another quotation about someone slavishly following the lead of another.
But I need you help finding it.
It’s been forty odd years ago and I was reading a young adult account of Benito Mussolini when I ran across an alleged direct quote from Mussolini in the early 1930’s:
If I starting hopping on one leg, that idiot in Munich [Hitler] would start bouncing on his head…
Not really my time period so I am unfamiliar with possible sources to track the alleged quote down. The usual suspects on the WWW have provided no answer.
Pointers?
PS: After no one followed their sycophantic excesses, British Airways backed off banning flyers who abandon non-working devices. UK follows US in banning uncharged devices from flights — and BA floated even tougher rules.
