“Senator John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana, has long been known for his zany turns of phrase,” the New York Times reports.
“Despite being an Oxford-educated lawyer, his folksy quips, delivered with a lively twang, are so common that he was once the subject of a quiz: Readers were invited to guess whether a given quotation was uttered by him or Foghorn Leghorn, the loudmouthed, Southern-accented Looney Tunes rooster. Mr. Kennedy is perhaps most famous for a political advertisement in which he suggested that critics of law enforcement ‘call a crackhead’ the next time they found themselves in danger.”
“Now, somewhat improbably, he is one of the best-selling authors in the country.”
