Yes..indeed-ee!
As far as people are concerned, human nature doesn't change; only technology changes. And that's why, even though both Shakespeare and Gilbert wrote for their own eras, both writers are still valid/interesting today.
The wonderful thing about Gilbert's satire, is that he chose themes that have not only held up, throughout the ensuing century plus decades, but many have become relevant as people have come back to the same things again and again...transendentalism, aethetics,"feministism"/women in college, class warfare, do nothing pols, stupid laws, "the Peter Principle" stuff, etc. !
Sorry...but I laughed when I saw the picture. I knew what you were driving at, but it was just a bit “off”. ;^)
“TheLastRefuge” on Twitter, identifies the reporters in the indictment as:
Reporter #1 Manu Raju at CNN
Reporter #2 Ali Watkins at NYT
Reporter #3 Marianna Sotomayor NBC
Reporter #4 Brian Ross ABC
The flood of hot, tight, highly available 22 year olds storming the Hill for jobs and adventures every June is legendary.
Is that why people run for Congress? Probably.
The song does not say which George, but it does feature the Battle of Waterloo, during which George III was king. However, I agree that he does not deserve credit for Wellington's victory. In fact, in his later years he suffered from dementia. See the movie The Madness of King George. Henry V was actually present at Agincourt, but later monarchs get too much credit for their military forces' triumphs.

[Reporter #4 Brian Ross ABC]
Would seem to make sense....
[Reporter #3 Marianna Sotomayor NBC]
Coincidence, or.....?
(Maybe it’s like “Smith” or “Jones” - no, no the TV show)
It was King George III and the House of Lords at that time, that are in that song/aria.
Oh I've seen THE MADNESS of KING GEORGE" several times and really like the movie. I also have a bio about King George III, as well as several books that are devoted to all of the Kings and Queens of Britain/the UK, as well as some others, each of which are about each of the ruling Houses, and those kings & queens, throughout time.
Yes, the earlier Kings ( though not John! )all went into battle themselves; Saxons ones, Norman ones, Plantagent, and Tudors too.

Will it be ignored, or will it be denounced as the greatest miscarriage of justice in history?
Steely Tom, I'm afraid it will be handled much like the "Congressional Sexual Lawsuit Sludge Fund" that never revealed ANYTHING about itself, who was paid off, etc, and it WENT AWAY as quickly as it showed up.. never to be heard of again.
Yeah well he just nopardoned himself. I am trying to figure it out though. How can a G&S fan have not a wit of a sense of humor or irony. I grew up with a number of folks with this “affliction.” They had great senses of humor.
interested to know, who is his boss? Committee chair? did the committee ever take efforts to investigate the leaks themselves?
The answers to your questions can be found in the following video. Jim Morrison knew.
