9. The words of John Henry Faulk...

Faulk was a popular radio talk show host in the 1950’s. The Reich-wing Birchers and more hated him and got him blacklisted. He took them to court for defamation. His attorney was the great Louis Nizer.*

Faulk had never seen or met the people who attacked him. Before the trial began he did.

He saw his protagonist in the hall and went over to introduce himself and shake his hand.

His attorneys were all: “What the hell did you do that for????”

Faulk: “I just wanted the son-of-a-bitch to know I had more manners than him.”

Schiff has manners, too.

* Faulk won in court. $3.5 million. It was the largest judgement for libel in history!

(All from my memory so the exact words may not 100%, but close enough.)
