So That’s Why Our Head Aches

October 28, 2005

In what may (or may not) become a CJR Daily regular feature, we hereby announce our first-ever Favorite Sentence of the Week.

The inaugural winner was penned by Ron Rosenbaum, who writes “The Edgy Enthusiast” column for the New York Observer. And whoever was in second place didn’t even come close. To wit:

“I think the recent total frenzy of Judiana — the Talmudic, blogospheric analysis of the entire spectrum of speculation, rumor, conjecture in the Plame case and its Judy Miller subplot that has consumed so many of us — may mark the moment when the way we process information has changed in some deeper fundamental way that transcends this particular media colonoscopy, transcends media consciousness and suggests some deep internal realignment of the prefrontal lobes.”
