....downtown Philadelphia way back in 1973, I became accustomed to reading about Arlen Specter. At the time he was running for (and losing) a third term as District Attorney for the City. As a result of that early exposure, plus a strong interest in the Supreme Court, I have avidly followed Specter's twisting and turning political career. Lots of interesting things are being said about him since his death on Sunday. I think my favorite quote is here:
"..... Sen. Russell Long of Louisiana drawling that 'Ah-len is a hard man to do a favor for…' "
Not sure I would like that for my epitaph. Full post from whence the quote came is here.
