I doubt that it was edited at all, given that Kinsley used to be Slate's EIC and they're none too heavy on the editorial process as it is. He's normally a good writer, but to me, the whole column seemed to come totally out of left field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1165496607100708782006-12-07T08:03:00.000-05:002006-12-07T08:03:00.000-05:00PG - I don't know anything about his previous writ...PG - I don't know anything about his previous writings, but this article is really unfocused. Maybe it was edited to death. Or maybe it was written with one eye on the tv screen.

Unfortunately, the consequence probably will be to make Ms. Lohan less spontaneous, more guarded and edited by various handlers, and thus less of an easy target for the gossips.<BR/><BR/>Along somewhat similar lines, is it just me or is <A HREF="http://www.slate.com/id/2154856" REL="nofollow">this the stupidest thing Michael Kinsley's ever said</A>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-1165326433677043432006-12-05T08:47:00.000-05:002006-12-05T08:47:00.000-05:00I saw a news brief about this on imdb.

To begin with, they shouldn't have even needed to Google "be adequate"; they work in the industry, they should know.<BR/><BR/>They should also realize that those who do not love to write can be terrified by a blank sheet of paper, and lose coherence in the attempt to be formal and proper. Not to mention the minor detail that she herself was quite upset.<BR/><BR/>Why couldn't they take note of the fact that she wrote a fairly long and heartfelt letter of condolence- something most kids her age would not have attempted? To me, the fact of the letter means much more than the quality of it.Joel Monkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631333436948102576noreply@blogger.com
