Until coming across this recent Dick Cavett blog post, I had forgotten about the time that Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer showed up as guests on Cavett’s old television show one evening in 1971. For a good laugh to start the New Year, check out Cavett’s memories of the bizarre episode.
Happy New Year and here’s hoping you have a great ’08!
Houston's Clear Thinkers
Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
Why don’t you provide some feedback, or feedforward, on the Rosenthal mess? I figure you are bound to know more about it than the Chronicle.
I have a pretty good idea of at least one answer to that question, already. Just felt like it needed to be asked.
JD, I haven’t written anything about the Rosenthal affair because it seems so clear that he should be preparing for life after the DA’s office. He is not a strong candidate in the first place and the email affair will provide some voters with a reason to vote against him rather than simply be apathetic about the race. Regardless of what one thinks about publication of private emails, the content of the emails — not to speak of the favoritism shown to a former mistress — reflect poor judgment, which is not a characteristic that you want to see in a district attorney. It’s time for Rosenthal to move on.
