The insult that didn’t get in the paper

Jonathan Lovett is the sometimes crass lawyer representing Jacquelyn Byrnes in a federal lawsuit against Westchester County’s Department of Social Services and its commissioner Kevin Mahon. In my story tomorrow, he lashes out against the department, but we withheld his nastiest comment because this is a family newspaper.
So, here it is:
“In my opinion, Mahon must be a direct descendant of the banjo player in Deliverance. Actually, that’s a slur against the banjo player.”
For those who don’t know, Deliverance is the 1972 film that stars a young Burt Reynolds, taking a canoe trip through the Appalachians with friends. They encounter sexually sadistic mountain men and a mentally-challenged boy who plays banjo. Yikes.
