Weekend Roundup

Lots of assorted items from the last couple of days:

There are some interesting numbers out that appear to show that Bob Woodward‘s new book, “The Secret Man,” isn’t doing as hot as anticipated. It certainly confirms our conversation with a helpful clerk at Borders downtown last week. Us (pointing to a giant pile of Woodward books): “That’s a lot of copies.” Her: “Yea, well, they’re not going anywhere.”
Arianna Huffington is continuing her unique take on Judy Miller, who remains in an Arlington jail, where she was visited by Tom Brokaw and others.
In the pulling aside of the wizard’s curtain department, the NYT’s op-ed editor explained what he does yesterday, and the WP’s outgoing ombudsman Michael Getler offered some critiques of his paper’s decisions last week.
Eric Wemple has another questionable Post decision.
Two TV notes for you too: ABCers celebrated Peter Jenning‘s birthday Friday, and Nancy Grace beat Larry King. As Yoda would say, “and so the student becomes the teacher.”
And, as you think back over your weekend, be glad you’re not on the production team for CNN’s new “Situation Room”: They got to spend the weekend in rehersals for next Monday’s premiere.
