Quote of the Week
Hendrik Hertzberg's "Talk of the Town" piece has a gem which requires a little bit of lead up, but here goes . . .
In The Damn Yankees, the Devil helps the Washington Senators win the pennant.
The Senators' successors after thirty years, the Nationals, are up for sale.
One of the possible buyers is George Soros
Republicans and conservatives say some harsh things about Soros: Bill O' Reilly, "as far left as you can get without moving to Havana," Dennis Hastert has insinuated that some of Soros' fortune could be drug money and Jeff Gannon's GOP.USA, has called him "a prolocutor in the congregation of Moloch" and "Hungarian-born descendant of Shylock."
Get ready, here's the quote . . .
"Given the plot of "Damn Yankees," you might think that a prolcutor in the congregation of Moloch would be just what the Nats' front office needs."
