Barrett,
Id need to run the Cohen idea past Graydon Carter. Would you mind sending me a short pitch (3 grafs tops) with a couple of examples so I can forward that on?
Thanks and sorry for the delay on this.
Best,
MikeActually, let me get back to you on the O'Rourke piece when he puts out another article. In the meantime, I've been doing some research on Richard Cohen of the Washington Post for my second book, which deals with the general incompetence of mainstream columnists/pundits, and I've found quite a few incredible contradictions and failed predictions among his old columns, comparable in general ridiculousness to the stuff I found on Thomas Friedman. Would you be interested in a piece on Cohen and his failures as a pundit, along the same lines as the Friedman piece?
Thanks,

Howdy-
The edit looks good. I'll expand on the O'Rourke a bit more for you when I get home this evening.

Hey Barrett,
Here's a very light edit of the Conservaedia piece. (Try opening it in a
browser.) If it looks OK, let me know and we can post it tomorrow morning,
first thing.
Also, can you tell me a little more about the PJ O'Rourke thing?
Best,
Mike
