Duncan, I agree that the Sunday NY Times editorial is excellent, not just in its message, but also in delightfully well-turned phrases like "uniquely undisciplined and trouble prone White House", and "one man train wreck". Very nice writing. I see Clinton and his spin team are still advocating we all forget about the Starr investigation, and that much of the American public seems to agree, according to the polls. This is one scandal the press seems to have a better understanding of, and more interest in, than the general public.
I do have a bit of bad news for you. I know you really like Arianna Huffington, so I'm not sure how to break this to you gently, but in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle, in Leah Garchik's Personals column, I found the following:
Publishers Weekly provides the first mini-review of Arianna Huffington's forthcoming White House novel, "Greetings from From the Lincoln Bedroom" (Crown; $24). This is the book rewritten at the last minute to include details reminiscent of the current presidential scandals.
"Firmly in touch with the lowest common denominator," says the review, the book is "perhaps a new low in political wit" that "makes TV's's 'Politically Incorrect' look like the Economist." |
