Deconstructing Robert
This sort of "man-behind-the-myth" pieces usually don't interest us much here at the Planetarium office, but this one is pretty darn fascinating. You see, Amy Sullivan at the Washington Monthly isn't the usual sort of fawning, obsequious reporter who professes to "peel back the mask" only to end their pieces by concluding that this flawed-but-honorable person really is pretty amazing, after all. It's that lack of bootlicking that makes us really give her newest piece a good read. So click here to see her profile of Bob Novak, proclaimed by Jon Stewart to be a "Douchebag of Liberty", whom she argues has created an "ethics-free zone" for himself.
