Yeah, you know me!

The New York Times, my favorite gray lady of all time, often has some killer writing, but their recent article on Jon & Kate Plus Eight (yes, yes, I know) was a MASTERPIECE.  It’s a tour de force that will have the bloggers checking themselves before they go wrecking themselves. And I say that with 100% sincerity. Intelligent, snarky, well-reported, and full of burn, it is easily the best thing I have read all week.

Here is but a sampling of artfully worded and bitingly funny quotes from the article entitled A Marriage Crumbles in the Media Glare by Ginia Bellafante via the NYT:

“Kate explained that she had sobbed and hyperventilated for half a day when she realized that her marriage was over. (After a decade of marriage, really, why not a whole 24 hours?)”

“Jon, displaying all the emotion of a bottle of Drano, described his failings in terms of passivity and ineptitude as a communicator.”

“…bikers from “American Chopper”…showed up to make Jon, who does not work, realize how emasculated he had become.”
