A confluence of policy and the absurd occurred yesterday at the funeral of funnyman Soupy Sales.
Professor Irwin Corey had to be removed from the podium after his eulogy turned into a diatribe about health-care reform, in which he insisted that Soupy—along with Odetta, Eartha Kitt and Miriam Makeba—died prematurely because of inadequate treatment.
Way to pull a Marlon Brando there, skippy.
