Found scribbled on a folder on my desk.

I don't know where I saw this phrase but it obviously impressed me because I wrote it down on a folder. (I'm always finding notes to myself that I've written in the most inconvenient places.) I suspect that it was used in Christopher Hitchens's autobiography "Hitch 22," which I raved about a few months ago. It sounds like a phrase he would have used. "Quisling" is a relatively new word, but I offer it to my readers as a possible name to call someone you loathe. I hope the word takes on a broader meaning over time. For example, "that Newt Gingrich is such a embittered quisling." Even if you don't know what it means it sounds bad, right?
