Dowd: Behold Donald of Deliria!

There’s a great scene in “Lawrence of Arabia” when Peter O’Toole’s Lawrence comes back from battle and meets with Gen. Edmund Allenby, his British superior in Cairo.

The bookish Lawrence tells Allenby he executed an Arab ally with his pistol and, “There was something about it I didn’t like.”

Allenby reassures him that his distaste is to be expected.

“No, something else,” Lawrence explains. “I enjoyed it.”
