‘Phillymag’ On Brady: ‘An Angle Of Significant Obtuseness’

In a profile in next month’s issue of Phillymag, Dan P. Lee writes about Bob Brady and the mayor’s race.

There’s a few nice items about the way Jonathan Saidel exited the race — “People were saying not only would they make sure that [Saidel] wouldn’t win the race, but that he’d have trouble finding work in Philadelphia, period.” — and includes a stellar description of Bob Brady’s belly:

His stomach is rotund, though firm and wonderfully shaped. It begins just below his large chest and stretches out and down at an angle of significant obtuseness.

Note to self: If Dan Lee ever asks for a quote, make sure to suck gut in first. (Did he also write that Bob Brady has big boobs, too?)

But Brady gets into the fun, too:

“Jon is home right now with a cold pack across his tummy. He had a hernia operation yesterday. And I talked to him yesterday and I talked to him in the hospital, and I’m going to see him late tonight. Jon Saidel’s my dearest friend in the world. He’s going to be my driver, my confidant, my David L. Cohen, my pillow to cry on, my crutch to crutch on.”

Boy, I bet Jon Saidel is really rooting for Bob to win the mayor’s race! What could be better than driving Bob Brady home so he can cry on your shoulder?
