Quote of the Day

“It was a largely sober, largely tedious evening. This group has clearly seen too much of each other at this point and is now moving into the post-1977 M*A*S*H period.” — Esquire‘s Charles P. Pierce, on what he describes as “the 9,875th of 10,623” presidential primary debates, held last night at Washington, D.C.’s legendary/infamous Constitution Hall. (The Daughters of the American Revolution — to their eternal discredit — wouldn’t allow Marian Anderson to grace Constitution Hall‘s stage, which is how she wound up giving her iconic Lincoln Memorial concert, above. Let freedom ring indeed.)
