From Forward Kentucky: The gravedigger of American democracy
By BERRY CRAIG
Move over, “Turtle Man.” Make way for “the gravedigger of American democracy,” Mitch McConnell’s brand-new moniker.
Historian and author Christopher R. Browning debuted “gravedigger” in the Oct. 25 issue of The New York Review of Books.
Who knows if it will top “Turtle Man” as a McConnell handle. But “gravedigger” is based on substance, not the just senator’s supposed resemblance to a myopic tortoise.
