Nothing Novel [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Maybe I missed it, but as lame and unbecoming of the senator as the Allen attack on fiction is (and I say that though I'll grant it's probably going to be effective if Virginia voters read some of the excerpts — just like the stupid feminism stuff could work), here's a question: There are a lot of lame Washington Post Style section pieces. Wouldn't there likely have been a pretty attention-grabbing one if they delved into a "soft-porn Webb"? (Perhaps they did and I missed it?) Do we doubt there would have been such a piece (and then some) if Allen had written anything remotely similar?
