quote of the day / avoid PR war with a PO'd writer

is this a fair fight?
Today’s NY Post provides a quote that almost put coffee on my screen. Nothing to do with real estate (that would be Glengarry Glen Ross), but the story about Jeremy Piven’s ‘health’ issues keeping him off the Broadway stage in Speed The Plow has this nugget:

Daily Variety reported that Piven said he was suffering from a "high level of mercury," leading Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, who wrote the showbiz satire, to remark tartly, "My understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."

 

Ouch. To be terribly crude for a moment, that works on so many levels. (what, you thought I only read the NY Post for the real estate news??)
