shorter New York Times

[sisyphusshrugged]

Kitty Kelley's new book is full of smears and rumors and doesn't seriously analyze George Bush's performance in office. That is so tacky when other people do it.

I wouldn't expect serious journalism from Kitty Kelley. She's never done it and I don't know that it's every been presented as such.

I know what you're saying, dabrooklyn. But still..."serious journalism"? I'm surprised to see how many news organizations still claim to present it. Hmmm. "Washington Week In Review" or Kitty Kelley's latest? Take your pick.

Even "Washington Week in Review" seems rushed, these days. At least it's better than the dumb exchanges between David Brooks and Mark Shields that last too long on PBS' The News Hour.

Me neither. I also don't expect serious reviewing from Michiko Kakutani, at least not of anything that offends her delicate sensibilities.

Kakutani is a clever writer, but too often more entranced with turns of her own phrases than by any real insights into the books she's reviewing.
