As many of you are well aware, I will be summering in the Hamptons. You won't hear me say a bad word about Antilles, but the Hamptons just "feel" right this year.
Anyway, when one is associating with that fast crowd, I can assure you that you do not want to be stuck fishing around for that perfect bon mot when the opportunity presents itself.
So, it occurred to me, what with today's news that the Honorable Senator Arlen Specter is jumping before he was pushed . . . one could say that one belongs to a book club and the suggested topic was historical fiction . . . pause ever so slightly for comedic effect . . . and so you decided to read the Warren Commission Report On The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy!!!
Do you mark the humor there? The comment packages a sophisticated, very trendy mistrust of government and a knowledge of recent history, all wrapped with a rapier-like wit ribbon. As a bonus, some "Man In The Gray Flannel Suit" backbencher-type can use the opportunity to jump into the conversation with both feet, by saying, "How 'bout that Specter?"
Please feel free to use the line, so long as you are not also summering in the Hamptons.
