Crazy Is a Preexisting Condition

Posted on August 19, 2009May 22, 2019

Rick Perlstein wrote a wonderful article for last Sunday’s Washington Post about all the crazy motherfuckers getting airtime lately and it should be read by everyone:

So, crazier then, or crazier now?  Actually, the similarities across decades are uncanny.  When Adlai Stevenson spoke at a 1963 United Nations Day observance in Dallas, the Indignation forces thronged the hall, sweating and furious, shrieking down the speaker for the television cameras.  Then, when Stevenson was walked to his limousine, a grimacing and wild-eyed lady thwacked him with a picket sign.  Stevenson was baffled.  “What’s the matter, madam?” he asked.  “What can I do for you?”  The woman responded with self-righteous fury: “Well, if you don’t know I can’t help you.”
