Few if any bloggers have flattened Judy Miller’s tires with more gusto than David Ehrenstein, and so what if he can’t spell. Witness My Old Plame and Thoroughly Postmodern Miller, from earlier this week, and today’s Judge Judy.
But Arianne Huffington has been trying to keep up with him. Witness today’s Random Thoughts and Unanswered Questions (a detailed enterprise), or yesterday’s My Three Hours Hiking Among the Clustered Aspens With Judy Miller (a wan effort), or Bill Keller’s Surprising Admission (wanner still). Even so, she has gotten off some priceless shots. This one, for example, in Judy Miller’s Reporting: A Cancer on the New York Times?
Tom Friedman — and anyone else still hanging out at Camp Judy (I notice we haven’t heard from Lou Dobbs or Tom Brokaw since the Judy-culpa came out) — really need to update their talking points. Maybe they can all chip in and get a group rate on a good rewrite man.
It doesn’t quite reach the show-biz level of Ehrenstein wit. And won’t somebody please show her how to write a hed? But hey, credit where due.
