Quotes by Geoffrey Nunberg (?)

“Donald Trump comes closer than anyone else to being the archetype of the species; crossing genres, he exemplifies all the ways an asshole can capture our attention.”
― Geoffrey Nunberg, Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, the First Sixty Years

“Culpable obtuseness. He should know better. That's one reason why we don't use the a-word, for example, of little children. They can merit the s-word, because there's a malignity that's innate in little kids sometimes, but you can't merit the a-word until you're old enough so that you ought to know better.”
― Geoffrey Nunberg

“Still, to paraphrase what John Stuart Mill said about the stupidity of the Tories, while not all people who claim to be politically incorrect are assholes, it's exactly the sort of thing an asshole is apt to say. (183)”
― Geoffrey Nunberg, Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, the First Sixty Years
