"Like San Francisco ... And You Ain't There"
According to d. at Lawyers, Guns and Money, yesterday was Roy Cohn's birthday. d. reflects on the life of this wretched, nasty little man, and gives us this great line:
Quite justifiably, Cohn hated himself, though never for the right reasons.I've always thought that Tony Kushner's Angels in America was great revenge on Cohn - not only putting his marvelously ironic death at the center of a great piece of gay art, but forcing Cohn into the narrative of a great piece of liberal American art, turning that horrible man into a marionette and making him dance to a tune that ultimately reaffirms, in the most gorgeous way, why America is a great nation because of all the things that Cohn hated and tried to destroy.
