Overheard at a Greenwich Village Coffee Shop
By True story.
The scene: a small non-chain coffee shop. Two older gentleman (say, in their 70s) sit at a small metal table. One has a driving cap on and speaks with a thick Eastern European accent (we’ll call him Man #1).
And, action!
Man #1: Now it’s down to Clinton and Obama and they are friends one minute and enemies the next.
Man #2: Hm.
Man #1: What I want to know is if she’s gonna get him back?
Man #2: Hm?
Man #1: I think when (sic.) she gets elected, they’re [ed. note: I think he meant Obama & H. Clinton] gonna have an affair as payback for what her husband did.
Cut!
So my question is this: is this really what passes for political dialogue these days!?
