Hard “G” Gerald Weales raps Santorum’s knuckleheaded ploys effectively.
I’m reminded of the automobile insurance salesman in East Lansing in 1952 who immediately lost a sale by “Pat"-ing me as he unleashed his spiel. I’ve been “Patrick” by request ever since.
Pseudo-friendliness is an American weakness. Morton Cronin wrote a classical rebuke in The New Republic in the 1950s when he described the pushy boss who first-named his staff until they crossed him. He then expressed his power by last-naming them.
