Title: Norman Podhoretz, the Booger on Jackie's Sleeve

I wish I could remember where I read this, or who wrote it.

Back in the '60's, after JFK's death, Norman Podhoretz, who is grotesque in a Betty Friedan sort of way, hallucinated that Jackie was interested in him. One day he cornered her and pressed his suit with her.

She looked at him as if he was a booger on her sleeve and said, "Mr. Podhoretz, just who do you think you are?"

Not long afterward, the jilted Poddy began his trek from the Left to the Right.

Likely Alexander Cockburn:

"...back in the days of Camelot, [Podhoretz] conceived a passion for Jackie Kennedy and came to believe that somehow, against all the odds, she secretly reciprocated his yearning. Eventually, at some cocktail party he cornered her and pressed his suit. She gazed at him as though he was a centipede on her sleeve, and said icily, 'Why, Mr. Podhoretz, just who do you think you are?' Not long thereafter the jilted Poddy began his long trek to the right."


Gubs. Lots of gubs.

That's it! I prefer booger to centipede, though.
