Subject: Letting the air out

A current Facebook post from Mayor Torrance Harvey:

First they ignore you….
Then they laugh at you…
Then they FIGHT you…
That’s when you know you’ve won!!!
(Mahatma Ghandi)

First off Mayor Harvey, I served with Mahatma Ghandi. I knew Mahatma Ghandi. Mahatma Ghandi was a friend of mine. Mayor, you're no MAHATMA GHANDI.

Second, Mr. Educator, my friend's name is spelled Gandhi, not Ghandi.

("Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" was a remark made during the 1988 United States vice-presidential debate by Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator Dan Quayle in response to Quayle's mentioning the name of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. Since then, the words "You're no Jack Kennedy," or some variation on the remark, have become a part of the political lexicon as a way to deflate politicians or other individuals perceived as thinking too highly of themselves).
