Bresling seems to be racing Mailer to see which one will arrive at dementia first.
To: Post Toasties
Yes, for a long time Breslin's sentences have had a kind of
incoherent bluntness, which he probably thinks of as
"Hemingwayesque".

Breslin has completely lost his mind? He never had one.He made his "rep" as a writer by being someone who "knows" the criminal element in NYC,and who has "special" insights into how they think. The last article I read of his was back in the 60's,and he was supposedly writing about a arsonist he knew who was "mobbed up". His story was such obvious bull that I was shocked a paper would print it.
BTW,all his underworld "contacts" are various people he meets in bars. Now,we ALL know that nobody you meet in a bar would ever tell you a lie,right?

Not only is it trashy, it's rambling like he's high on something. Amazing - these people get paid for this stuff.

Breslin has allegedy been on the wagon for twenty-some years. Somebody give that man a drink!
This is one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever seen by a "professional" writer. When I taught college remedial composition, I would give such shoddy writing a "D."

I sure did. An even bigger joke was the film version of TGTCSS with a young Robert Deniro.

Don't you people see that when history judges your group you will look just as bad as the your racist parents look in today's historyNot at all. History is written by the victors.
And we're going to win. Chew on that one, putz.
To: PoorMuttly
Nah, with Jimmy it's continuous. He must tote his liver around in a wheelbarrow!

Lemme see... Noam Chompsky, Ramsey Clark, Gore Vidal, Robert Altman, Bobert Byrd, Fritz Hollings, and now Jimmy Breslin.
There is almost too much to chose from for a "Grumpy Old Men" movie poster parody of America Haters.

What is DU?
To: TheBlueMax
What a scathing retort!! Your extensive grasp of the issues at hand leaves me to question which of us needs to put down the crack pipe.

Pure Poison.
