Michael Kinsley reviewing Glenn Greenwald’s book:
It’s a great yarn, which might be more entertaining if Greenwald himself didn’t come across as so unpleasant. Maybe he’s charming and generous in real life. But in “No Place to Hide,” Greenwald seems like a self-righteous sourpuss….
Good to know that Michael Kinsley spends his time in the review on such an essential issue as Greenwald’s likability. Apparently, Glenn doesn’t quite match up to Michael’s Cary Grant savoir faire.
Me, I’d have a drink with Greenwald any day of the week. And Glenn? I’m buying.
Update by digby:
If you haven’t seen the NY Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan’s response to Kinsley it’s well worth reading.
