SEEN BUT NOT (REALLY) OVERHEARD
Pennsylvania’s Senior Senator

Seen, but not overheard, not exactly overheard anyway: Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and his wife, Joan Specter, in Center City Philadelphia, dining with a third party at Meritage, 500 S. 20th St., Saturday, February 26.

The old guy’s looking pretty good, chemotherapy and all.

What? You were expecting fisticuffs? (Gawd, I love that word.)

What? You expected me to write something snarky?

Please, the man has Hodgkin’s disease.

Once it clears, though, it’s back to business as usual around here. I assure you.
