From a reader:

This line amused me
“I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”
Come into my office bypassing security. With airhorns. Screaming.
I don’t care if you are hawking NRODT, I’m not going to be “amenable” to
your point of view, or for that matter, you.
This reminds me of an old, possibly true story of Koch v. Herman Badillo in
the NYC Mayor’s race. Koch finds his Kew Gardens/Forest Hills support is
down, he’s still leading Badillo but not as much as he wants. So his staff
loads up a flat bed truck with young Koch for Mayor volunteers and drives
through the area at 7:30 a.m. in the Saturday morning before election day
chanting “Badillo! Badillo!”
And Koch wins the area handily.
Or so the legend goes.
