Evan Gahr writes: When I first arrived in DC I interviewed Michael Kinsley for the Washington Jewish Week. He was much better known then--on Crossfire--than Peter Beinart. But he was devoid of any pretense and had no problem giving me an interview; he even was quite apologetic about cancelling when Marty Peretz called a staff meeting and that interfered with the time slot.
The smaller the person the bigger the attitude.
Beinart is not strikingly briliant the way Kinsley is. He's just a rather pedestrian partisan putz. The partisanship being his own: needs to show everyone how he is so great he can prove both conservatives and liberals wrong on every issue.
