Edith Wharton Quote

I would like to dedicate this quote to one Rudolph Giuliani as he hopes to become 'the comeback kid' in the Florida Republican Primary.

Believe it or not, I almost wrote a letter defending the former New York mayor to the Greensboro, NC, paper "The News-Record" because I think the far-right has been criticizing him pretty harshly, and hey only people with my political views have a right to do that!

Alas, it is an election year and my mother can't stand the guy.

There is a non-partisan side of me that would like to say: "Gosh, you know being the mayor of New York City had to be an impossible job, even before 9-11," but if I said that, I would also have to say: "Gosh, being the president has to be hard work."

However, if Rudy G or his campaign spokesperson leaves a message here and offers me free Yankees tickets (errr...I'm a Red Sox fan) or free tickets to the new Broadway version of "Young Frankenstein," I'll go one step further and endorse him outright............hey, when it comes to politics____that's the new American way!

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American writer who wrote such novels as "House of Mirth" (1905) and "Age of Innocence" some ninety years before they were both turned into movies.

Here's the quote:
"A New York divorce is in itself a diploma of virtue."
