Frank Keel’s Quotes
There are so many things about Philly to love. Our history, our politics, our food and our people. Well, some of them anyway…
However, one person in particular that I love is Frank Keel. Why, you may ask? He is never at a loss for words and always speaks his mind. In my humble opinion, those are two pretty decent qualities. So here we go folks. Legendary words - some admittedly and humorously out of context - from the legendary Philly PR man Frank Keel:
“I will always savor the taste of grilled shark.” - Frank Keel on “Tommy The Loan Shark” and Jim Nixon after making them look like total douche bags by crashing their press conference and exposing them as Bob Brady’s stooges via the Metro blog.
“Why don’t you identify yourself, you stupid, spineless, gutless moron? … Shut up, crawl back in your hole, and the next time you feel the urge to flex your muscles, have the stones to sign your name to it. Pussy.” - Frank Keel on criticism of Johnny Doc and Local 98 via Phillyblog.
“He has a right to make a living.” - Frank Keel on Ex-Councilman Rick Mariano after being recently convicted for taking bribes via Philly.com.
“So is it inconceivable that something like [the FBI bug] could be triggered by the Republicans? … I don’t know. I would speculate that it’s possible.“ - Frank Keel on the FBI being used as a political tool to thwart Mayor Street’s re-election via NewPartisan. This is the basis on which a large part of Vince Fumo’s defense strategy is based on, by the way.
“We have heard repeatedly how much nicer the park is now.” Frank Keel on Mayor Street banishing skaters and turning Love Park into a refuge for homeless beggars and bad lunchtime music.
“…a whiny coward who’s reveling in the attention this loser’s-lament-of-a-political mockumentary is providing him. I hope he chokes on his frigging popcorn.” - Frank Keel on Sam Katz on ‘The Shame of a City’ via Clout.
Eat that Joe Grace and Kate Phillips. Cheers!
