Jerry Della Femina Quote

I had a special project to do a campaign for a Philadelphia politician named Arlen Spector (sic). When do I get to see Arlen Spector? I asked. You don't. Spector was a district attorney in Philadelphia, running for mayor. He wanted New York advertising but he had placed through a Philadelphia agency. I complained about not being able to see Arlen Spector. Are you crazy? his people said. Nobody gets to meet Arlen Spector. We can't even see him. All right, I said, what's Arlen Spector for? Arlen Spector is for getting elected. All right, I said, what's Arlen Spector against? Arlen Spector is against losing. I did the campaign, but Arlen Spector lost.
