SHOWING PROPER RESPECT (CONT’D):

ICYMI: Now out from Kurt Schlichter: A new Kelly Turnbull novel, Panama Red.

ALEX BERENSON: On the cesspool of elite journalism. “The memoir, American Canto, isn’t good, to say the least. It’s draggy, circuitious, hard to read. It’s received scathing reviews complaining Nuzzi is a bad writer. But Nuzzi isn’t a bad writer. The reason American Canto isn’t good is simpler and sadder: because Nuzzi is a bad person. Why should you care? Because Nuzzi is a bad person in the most elite way possible.”

Which makes her a worse person.

UNEXPECTEDLY!

MATT TAIBBI: Kudos to the New York Times: Credit where credit is due. “Jeffrey Epstein signed a non-prosecution agreement on September 24, 2007, pleading guilty to two charges. The first was for solicitation of a 19-year-old. The second, for “solicitation of minors to engage of prostitution,” involved a 17-year-old. He was never convicted of anything involving a 14-year-old. I wrote to reporter Debra Kamin, who helped restore my faith in journalism today by replying.”

The bar is low now.

OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s Groovy.

OUT TODAY: Kurt Schlichter’s latest Kelly Turnbull novel, Panama Red.
