"There's no satisfaction to any Madoff loser that the son committed suicide."
"It's just tragedy on tragedy."
ADDED: All the newspapers have to say that Mark Madoff hanged himself with a dog leash. It's like "all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude."
When does a single a death detail become irresistibly mentionable?
If only Flaubert were still here, adding entries to his "Dictionary of Received Ideas." At "Mark Madoff," we'd have "hanged himself with a dog leash."
I see Flaubert has an entry for "suicide": "Proof of cowardice."
