“A mensch in a selectman’s suit.”
Town meeting member, PAX co-chair and self-proclaimed legal ethicist Martin Rosenthal endorsing Brookline Board of Selectmen Chair Robert L. Allen, Jr. during last May’s local election.
It’d be funny, if it weren’t so tragic.

Is this quote an indirect disparagement of Gil Hoy? Or perhaps the lady Selectmen, who could be described as:
“THREE MAIDLES IN SELECTWOMEN’S PANTSUITS!”
But “OY,” this would leave HOY all out, all alone, in the all together.
So what quote will Marty come up with when (if?) he endorses Gil for reelection?
No disparagement of Hoy intended. I suspect the coming days will show how ridiculous Rosenthal’s vouching has turned out.
