Hud Strikes Back

Actor and salad dressing magnate, Paul Newman, who was once nominated for an academy award for playing the character Hud, in the movie of the same name, has entered the fray in the Al Franken, Fox News dustup with this humorous OpEd piece in today's NYT.

Mr. Newman is considering a lawsuit against the department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for besmirching his character's bad name. He is accusing them of innocence by association. I will leave the legal merits to my attorney.
