Awe Shucks

Bless the Weekly Standard’s parody page for pointing out this item from the Oct. 14 New York Times Book Review:
Michael Kinsley, who reviews Alan Greenspan’s ‘’Age of Turbulence'’ this week, has a résumé that seems to have been assembled with the express purpose of inspiring awe. At present, he is a columnist for Time, but he has also been the editor of The New Republic and Harper’s, the editorial and opinion editor of The Los Angeles Times, the American editor of The Economist and the founding editor of the online magazine Slate. Along with numerous television appearances, he has written for The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Times of London and, of course, the Book Review.
That’s what passes for awe these days? Sorry, but I didn’t see a Nobel Peace Prize or a Super Bowl ring on the list. No sale.
