The Big Brouhaha Over Doris Kearns Goodwin

I am not saying she shouldn't have paid more attention to her assistants, but it seems like there is an awful lot of attention on this woman in the mainstream media. Or at least there seems to be in comparison with Bellisiles -- that anti-gun commie Instapundit has been dogging since forever.

Or maybe it is because she has a Pulitzer and the mob enjoys nothing quite as much as the fall of the great.

The NY Times -- record holder in the Pulitzer department as of this year -- has a very thoughtful essay in the book section that leads you down a great path, but ends with a different take on Ms. Goodwin. Even if you are baying for her blood, the essay is well written.
