One on my fondest memories of my Father was the day he walked up to Jimmy Breslin and called him a fat, lying scumbag (I was there with hime). They knew each other for years. Breslin repaid him by printing a New Year's day article which said he'd never speak to my father again! We hung the article up with pride!

Look at the picture. Is that a man who likes the sauce? Does anyone really listen to him - other than the "liberal intelligencia"?

Jimmy who?

He also had a late-night television show, "Jimmy Breslin's People," This was actually a very interesting show. Who else would interview the physicist Isidor I. Rabi (radar pioneer and discoverer of nuclear magnetic resonance)? Rabi was a fascinating guest. The interview was conducted in a branch library where, as a boy, he had read every book. Rabi, a Jew, said that the world is indebted to the Anglo-Saxon people for the invention of constitutional government.

He's a ruin, alright, but he's allegedly been off the sauce for years. A drink or ten might do him good.

I'm getting a laugh out of this story, seeing as Les Payne is himself a notorious, racist liar. I guess they were showing their commitment to affirmative action and dishonesty, by giving him the editorship.

One on my fondest memories of my Father was the day he walked up to Jimmy Breslin and called him a fat, lying scumbag...When I lived in Manhattan years ago there was a murder on my street. I walked out of my building and saw police tape up the block a ways. As I got closer I noticed Jimmy Breslin himself standing by the crime scene, jotting notes on a pad just like a rookie reporter.
As I approached I said in a friendly way, "Well what do you know, Jimmy Breslin, I'll be..." or some other such brilliant ice-breaker. Guy just looked at me. Not hello, not an acknowledgement of my presence, nothing. Just a grim glare and he went back to his notes.
What a pearl.

I was actually be kind with the words my Dad used. What he actually said was, "YOU'RE A FAT F**KING PIG." And my Father was a very mild mannered guy.

This guy is a first-class bonehead. Remember the Washington-area sniper attacks? He was p!$$ed off that President Bush wasn't down in the danger zone walking the streets. THAT would have solved it! < /sarc> What a maroon.

LOL! Hooray for your Father!
I wish I could remember the columnist who was reviewing some opus of Breslin's and after quoting a particularly pompous and flatulent passage lamented,
"Alas! Even Jimmy Breslin writes like Jimmy Breslin!"
I should know who it was--maybe William F Buckley--not sure--it was a good 35 years ago.
