The following is a song from the Marx brother's movie Horsefeathers. It applies to Reid. Someone should just overlay Groucho on top of Harry's speech.
Whatever It Is, I'm Against It
I don't know what they have to say,
it makes no difference anyway,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
no matter what it is or who commenced it,
I'm against it.
Your proposition may be good,
but let's have one thing understood,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
and even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it.
I'm opposed to it,
on general principles I'm opposed to it!
(Chorus)
He's opposed to it!
in fact, in word, in deed,
he's opposed to it!
For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night till morn,
whatever it is, I'm against it!,
and I've kept yelling since I commenced it,
I'm against it!
