Liz Cheney: a Furie or Erinyes

possible the word fury comes from "furies" in English otherwise the word is Erinyees:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erinyes


What I found interesting is Shakespeare did NOT invent this general phrase.  I don't know if since he is a white man and lifted this today he could keep his professorship of English at an Ivy league school:

NOUN
plural emeriti\ i-​ˈmer-​ə-​ˌtī , -​ˌtē \
a person retired from professional life but permitted to retain as an honorary title the rank of the last office held

Funny, I never heard anyone refer to Newt Gingrich this way.....

The usual LEFTIST control of language that once used goes to every MSM outlet to be repeated over and over

Like "illegal" is the new "N" word.
