[lbo-talk] David Mamet turns right...

[123hop at comcast.net]

"Of course, we've heard all this a million times before; reading it in Mamet's energetic words is altogether too much like reading Alan Dershowitz would be, if some malicious genie had gifted Alan with a lively prose style. "The size of Vermont!" Sheer genius. West Bank settlers in Uzis and Birkenstocks, tending their spotted cattle and maple-sugaring in the Levantine spring--it's enough to bring Norman Rockwell back from the dead."

Great stuff! (apparently, he went to school in Vermont)

Course his political theorizing is not much different from his playwriting: warmed over stuff that was orginally done a generation before.
