he is a narrowly experienced kid who's ego far exceeds his talents. the best work he did was with scott ritter and that was because ritter had so much to say.
dont fool yourself with some sort of cult of personality, pdiddle, you write as good as pitt, and do not have his ego problems.
just read an eric alterman essay then a will pitt essay, you will instantly see the distance pitt has to go to be considered a first rate writer.
Hey, big dog.
Thought we'd lost ya after that dustup with Craven awhile back.
I agree that you, Setanta, seydlitz, and I write well.
So does blatham, and nimh, and Thomas here.
And Eric Alterman, and Tom Tomorrow, and David Weinert at Orcinus and Joshua Marshall at talkingpointsmemo and Atrios and billmon and a whole host of others.
You know what Freud said: If it weren't for ego, id have no luck at all...
