From a reader:

The worst “healer” episode was “Hymietown”. Remember? First Jackson allowed as how he hated New York so much (I know, stop the presses) on account of it was full of Jews. The latter get mad (not enough). Then the Rev. comes back with how it was time to heal. HE puts his foot in his mouth, HE gets jumped on for it, but then he rises above the fray as (implied) healer. So now it’s YOUR problem. HE’s moved on. Blech. If you ask me this Frist character is one knotch above Jackson. There’s a great line in the “French Revolution”–away from my books–”the vicinity of sickbeds is not the school for statesmen”–whatever. Anybody calling himself a conservative who would support this dweeb in the primaries may be a conservative, but is is certainly an idiot. Though I did say the same thing about Bush in 2000. Heh.
