Re: the poverty of pundits

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

I don't know much, but from what I've heard on US NPR, he's the type of person who's best when discussing polling results. 

According to the web, he's the "senior editor at [very conservative] The Weekly Standard and author of "Bobos [bourgeois bohemians] In Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There." Another bio adds that he was "a contributing editor at Newsweek, and a commentator on NPR and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. He was formerly a reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, SmartMoney, The [very conservative] New Republic, [very conservative, virulently zionist] Commentary, and other publications." Yet another says that he is "a graduate of the University of Chicago" and " editor of BACKWARD AND UPWARD: The New Conservative Writing (Vintage, 1996)."
