Dear William Rivers Pitt:

I just wanted to express my appreciation for your fine, thoughtful review of my book, "The Clinton Wars." Many of the reviews have carried on the momentum of the animosities of the reviewers, some of whom were direct participants in the events and ought to be embarrassed by their behavior. Your review understood the important issues that I hoped to raise and that are all too relevant.

You may be interested that I will be writing a column for The Guardian that will also be posted by Salon.com in the US. I hope you will find it of interest. Here's the first one: Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | Bush's other war

Best regards,
Sidney Blumenthal

Well done! maybe some day Kissinger will write you to apologize and say he's seen the truth. :-)

5. Woohoo....

so, did you know that Atrios is Sidney Blumenthal?


Heheh....that's what the wingnuts think. I believe Mickey Kaus started that speculation, and some of it stuck. We like to tease Atrios and call him "Sid"...heheh.

7. What an exciting, glamourous life you lead.

One day you're a nekkid pull toy for the randy women of the Lounge.

The next day you're off carousing with the creme d'la creme of Boston DU'ers and being conned by an ex-con.

And the day after that you're getting fan mail from renowned authors.

You must rock or something. ;-)

8. Moving on up.

Congratulations Will.
