Collected Works of Arlen Specter

This afternoon U.S. Senator Arlen Specter confronted a noisy audience at a Town Hall Meeting in Lebanon, Pennsylvania–pitting a literary legislator against a conservative crowd.

The Senator is touring the state, talking about the hot-button issue of health care and meeting some stiff resistance. According to the Washington Post, one particularly dramatic activist told the Senator: “One day God’s going to stand before you, and he’s going to judge you and the rest of your damned cronies up on the Hill. And then you’ll get your just desserts.”

Earlier this year, GalleyCat studied Specter’s literary output when the Senator published his second essay in the New York Review of Books. That essay and his upcoming reelection fight should be enough to float another political memoir someday. In 2008, Specter published the memoir, “Never Give In: Battling Cancer in the Senate;” in 2000, he wrote “Passion for Truth: From Finding JFK’s Single Bullet to Questioning Anita Hill to Impeaching Clinton.”
