mentioner

My only real concern here, however, as I was telling my pedicurist Sven, is this: when does an Unnecessary Wife Mentioner become an Absolutely Necessary Wife Mentioner?

Posner is always on the lips of the Great Mentioner (to use Russell Baker's phrase) whenever there is a Supreme Court vacancy, but he is always stricken from the list because of his ostensibly too-rightward-leaning, and altogether too "controversial," views ("Posner?

They couldn't wait to tell me I was now an "old page mentioner".

Nunn, a current sweetheart of the Great Mentioner, is enjoying a vice-presidential boomlet, as Dukakis appears the likely nominee.

Even as the Republican Party's great mentioners have largely moved on without him, Jindal is continuing on as if this is all part of the plan, quietly laying the groundwork for that long-expected White House run by staffing up his Washington-based nonprofit, America Next, and making regular trips outside of Louisiana to gather chits and speak at state party chicken dinners.
