They're the American Mullahs. I've been calling them that for a while and I hope it catches on eventually.
I thought they were Muslim clergy. What am I missing?
The Mullahs of Iran cannot be replaced no matter what they do. They are also the final arbiters on all matters.
Gotcha. That’s a fair comparison.
I should let everyone know, I am taking bribes.
"I used to take a lot of bribes and I should have let everyone know. I mean, I still do, but I used to, too."
That’s exactly how I read that title. Oh, I can see there was no need to be sneaky. Apologies.
