About Breitbart

Go see this Time magazine story about Andrew Breitbart, perhaps the leading conservative web entrepreneur. The article is less critical than you might imagine. I suspect the author started out to do a hit piece and ended up admiring what Breitbart has accomplished.

An interesting aside is this comment about Breitbart's experience as an undergraduate at Tulane University in New Orleans:
The South was a revelation for Breitbart. Southerners, whom he'd assumed from their depiction on TV to be Neanderthals, were warm and smart and less neurotic than Californians.
This is something I spent a working lifetime telling colleagues in California. I daresay not one of my neurotic colleagues believed me.
