I almost couldn't believe it when Rudy Giuliani reviveed a hackneyed old
phrase, saying of Hillary Clinton, that she "never met a payroll." I
remembered an old movie where Henry Fonda used that expression,
sarcastically -- I'm pretty sure it was THE BEST MAN. The big buzzword
in reference to Barack Obama is "change," and I can't recall the name of an
even older movie that has a politico bemoaning how campaigns are run 'these
days,' with empty slogans like "Time for a Change." It might have been a
Preston Sturges movie, but I'm not sure. Does anyone recognize this?
