Does anyone still wear a hat, part II: Salon's take on Abramoff's fedora

Beltway corruption posterboy of the day Jack Abramoff wore a snazzy fedora to court to cop his guilty plea on Tuesday, and much was made of the Runyonesque choice of headwear. Salon‘s Stephen Hirsch has a different – and illuminating take on it, however: Abramoff wasn’t playing 30’s gangster, he was wearing a Borsalino, the “ne plus ultra of Yeshiva boy caps.” Hirsch’s unique point of view provides an interesting perspective through which to view Abramoff, though certainly no more flattering than most.
