Kilpatrick was, according to The Huffington Post, a man famous for his “in-your-face, conservative bickering with liberal commentator Shana Alexander three decades.”
I don’t know much about Kilpatrick. I’m sure he was great, as his wife said in the Post’s article, as reporter by the Associated Press.
What I do know is that I’ve seen Kilpatrick before . . . kind of. His “in-your-face” style was parodied by Saturday Night Live in one of my favorite skits when Dan Aykroyd would say: “Jane, you ignorant slut.”
