New York Times quote is good today

Rarely do I see a quote of this quality in the “Quote of the day” section of my e-mail:

- QUOTATION OF THE DAY -

“A billionaire is like a mastodon: He gets everyone’s attention. The thing that people hate most in politics is a wild card. Well, he’s a really big one.”
- HANK SHEINKOPF, a Democratic consultant, on the possibility of an
independent presidential campaign by Mayor Michael R.
Bloomberg.

Usually, this quote comes from some section or other of the paper, and is part of an interview written up somewhere in the paper. Whoever wrote this particular article was handed a quote on a gold platter today—that quote is brilliant.
