The Adams Administration

How does Hamilton, the short-tempered,
protean creator of the Coast Guard,
Founder of the New York Post,
ardently abuse his cab’net post,
destroy his reputation?
Welcome, folks, to
BURR/COMPANY
The Adams administration!

taunts.

Hamilton is out of control.
MADISON
This is great! He’s out of power. He holds no
office. And he just destroyed President John
Adams, the only other significant member
of his party.
JEFFERSON
Hamilton’s a host unto himself. As long as
he can hold a pen, he’s a threat. Let’s let him
know what we know.
