Your Morning Pinter
For Tuesday, November 25th, 2025
Week 142 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This Week Harold Pinter
“I’ll tell you what I really think about politicians. The other night I watched some politicians on television talking about Vietnam. I wanted very much to burst through the screen with a flame thrower and burn their eyes out and their balls off and then inquire from them how they would assess the action from a political point of view.”
Update Vietnam to healthcare, inflation, Demented Orange, Epstein and that quote still applies.
Funny. I feel the same way whenever I see or hear from any member of this current gangster administration.
Pinter was ahead of his time in so many ways, but I'd make the Toby Ziegler bet (to quote a favorite go-to of our host) that this would not be on your Pinter's Ahead of His Time bingo card.
