			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Galley Friend A.W. has <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/jeffrey-toobin-rewrites-supreme-court-history-and-his-own_645093.html?nopager=1" target="_blank">a pretty rough take-down</a> of Jeff Toobin&#8217;s latest piece on the Supreme Court in the <em>New Yorker. </em>Actually, &#8220;pretty rough&#8221; may not really be accurate. More kind of like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTit869LfWA&amp;t=48" target="_blank">this.</a></p>
<p>My one thought regarding Toobin is that whatever his sins, I&#8217;ll always love him for <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2003/02/03/030203fa_fact?currentPage=all" target="_blank">this amazing profile of Martha Stewart,</a> which includes a scene that reaches Labashian heights of awesome:</p>
<blockquote><p>In an afternoon of conversation, Stewart generally declined to fire back at her tormentors; she has no complaint with the late-night comics, who used to welcome her. &#8220;My buddies—Dave, Jay, Conan,&#8221; she said with a sigh. &#8220;I miss the fun. They have a job to do, they can comment on anybody in a playful way, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s at all damaging. In other parts of the press, more damaging. In terms of photography, even more damaging.&#8221; She&#8217;s particularly bothered by the photographs that appear in the <em>Post</em>, which often show her looking haggard and distraught. &#8220;The ugliest pictures. And I&#8217;m a pretty photogenic person, I mean, and they manage to find the doozies,&#8221; she said. <em>Newsweek</em>, too: &#8220;They had a list of pictures of people, and the pluses and the minuses of the people&#8217;s lives during the year. And it said next to mine, &#8216;If she had been nicer to people on the way up, they&#8217;d be nicer to her on the way down.&#8217; I&#8217;ve never not been nice to anybody.&#8221;</p>
<p>When we took a lunch break, it was clear that the wounds of the past year ran deep. After I admired the silver chopsticks that had been set out, Stewart said, &#8220;You know, in China they say, &#8216;The thinner the chopsticks, the higher the social status.&#8217; Of course, I got the thinnest I could find.&#8221; After a pause, she added, &#8220;That&#8217;s why people hate me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Just dazzling.</p>
