"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones MagazinesThursday May 08, 2008

Ellies Are Tonight!
Russert Makes Time 100 ListTime magazine is out with its annual "Time 100" list of "the world's most influential people: leaders, thinkers, heroes, artists, scientists and more." Mario Cuomo pays tribute to Russert: Most candidates are not eager to present themselves for Tim's incisive scrutiny, which is fed by his prodigious study and preparation. But they have little choice: appearing on Meet the Press is today as vital to a serious candidate as being properly registered to vote. Thursday Apr 24, 2008
28 Years Worth of CoversYou can now surf 28 years worth of Campaigns & Elections magazine, as they've now been posted online here:
Washingtonian, Washington Life Duke It Out In Glover ParkAt first we thought the Washingtonian magazine had stepped it up with its mag rack placement in the Glover Park Whole Foods ...
...but guess what we saw yesterday?
Lorrie Lynch: Why Am I The Worse Person In The World?!?USA Weekend's Lorrie Lynch takes to the blog to discuss her being named "Worse Person in the World" by Keith Olbermann. Imagine my surprise when I arrived home from a three-hour church meeting last night to have my husband inform me that I had been called 'Worse Person in the World' on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. ... Keith was upset that I told readers how Burnett would not talk to us without her PR handler being in on the interview. In his rant (which you can view here) Keith chastizes me for not understanding that no public figure from "the president to Ashton Kutcher" is interviewed without his press handler sitting in. Sorry Keith, I beg to differ. I'm proud to say we expect public figures to be able to answer questions without their PR people in the room or on the phone. It makes for much better interviews. And my column is full of such conversations every week. In fact, in November of 2005, Keith himself was featured in the column (scroll down a bit for the item), having given a lovely interview that was completely handler-free. Oh snap.
