Hey Barrett,

Martys daughter Evgenia is one of our contributors, so I think Ill have to pass on the chance to chop him down to size.

Might be late for Value Voters, but let me know if you have anything stellar.

Cheers,
M

Howdy-

Got caught up this week and haven't had time to do that Value Voters Summit piece; let me know if you still want it.

Otherwise, you may have noticed that Martin Peretz, perennial editor at The New Republic, recently got himself in trouble due to having written some over-the-top insults <http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/09/more-on-muslim-life-is-cheap/63201/> directed towards Muslims and asserting that the First Amendment ought not apply to them. I did a whole chapter on Peretz for my upcoming book but still have plenty of notes left over; let me know if you'd like to take a look at a piece on him akin to the Thomas Friedman and Charles Krauthammer articles.
