Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Saturday, June 05, 2004


Well (or as he would have said, wehell) I did see him in person, once -- at a very noisy campaign rally at Millersville University in '84. I was about fifteen or twenty feet away from the podium, and left the place with half my hearing gone. He was about what he looked like on television, but his face had an orange sheen, as did his hair. I don't remember the speech -- such speeches aren't meant to be remembered -- but SEN. SPECTOR was there (he knew a good reelection when he saw one), and Mrs. DIPPITY-DO's first husband was there (I shouldn't make fun; Sen. Heinz died in a truly needless accident along with several children), and a few in the crowd tried to get the oily Sam Donaldson's attention (he wouldn't budge), and it was an exciting event -- one at a time.
