	Character Above All: HENDRIK HERTZBERG
		Hendrik Hertzberg wrote the essay on Jimmy Carter for the book Character Above All, published earlier this year by Simon & Schuster.
		Hertzberg served on the White House staff throughout the Carter Administration.
		Hertzberg has spent most of his career as a journalist.

	Decades of wit, jabs and reflection
		Hendrik Hertzberg, in his mastery over the short form of political and cultural commentary, is in all respects a sprinter, and is one of our finest.
		Hertzberg's gift is the turn of phrase and the sly dig at his targets, on the right as well as on the left.
		No one would argue whether Hertzberg's heart lies on the left of the political spectrum, and he takes obvious relish in demolishing his conservative counterparts, but his facility with language allows him to avoid sounding shrill or bitter in his commentary, a fact that further distinguishes him from his contemporaries.

	Hertzberg, Politics
		So Hendrik Hertzberg's Politics -- arriving in the middle of an election cycle, when all the usual symptoms flourish in excess -- is the most anomalous of cultural commodities: a book by an author who takes politics very seriously but does not yell, and who can be humorous without resorting to sarcasm.
		Hertzberg's book reached me in galleys well before early June, when the nation said its epochal goodbye to the actor and president who shaped the past quarter century more than any other figure.
		Hertzberg's prose can sting at times, but he is too intelligent to confuse satire, however pointed, with political efficacy.

	Alienation in A Time of War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Hertzberg’s sensitivity to any link with a left that had slipped its patriotic moorings was a product of the select political space he had chosen as his own.
		Hertzberg’s distortion of this history is even worse than it appears, because it is based on the suppression of a more basic fact: All the constitutional compromises with slavery were necessary in order to achieve the Union that, within twenty years, abolished the slave trade and, within a single generation, freed the slaves themselves.
		In short, Hertzberg’s disenchantment with the American system is that it is not "majoritarian." In pursuing social justice, the federal government is unable to ignore state’s rights, judicial precedents, and pretty much all the checks and balances that have made America’s political history different from, say, that of revolutionary France.

	Hertzberg of the New Yorker
		Hertzberg was taking a leave of absence from a magazine put out by talented, eccentric, opinionated, hilarious, and sometimes acridly quarrelsome writers, artists, and editors.
		By 1985, Hertzberg concluded that for someone of his temperament, "four years of unremitting ideological struggle is enough." He resigned as editor and accepted a fellowship at the Kennedy School of Government's Institute of Politics, then had two unfunded years at the school's Shorenstein Center for the Press, Politics, and Public Policy.
		Hertzberg's philosophy rests on the classic liberal view that problems are systemic, that political and economic structures—not flawed individuals or "human nature"—are the root causes of most social ills.

		Hendrik Hertzberg: It certainly had a public facet to it, but-but this is not the s-the kind of a fence that is generally prosecuted.
		Hendrik Hertzberg: And which reversed the indebtedness of the country, transformed the biggest deficits in history to the biggest surpluses.

		Hertzberg is one of my favorite writers - his articles are the first I read when I see them in The New Yorker.
		Apart from his political acuity, Hertzberg's observations on other aspects of American culture, such as his wonderful piece on the experience of police at a post 911 Bruce Springsteen concert are exceptional.
		Hendrik Hertzberg is one of the very, very few smart, honest voices on the political observation deck these days - almost every essay in the book provides a fresh (and often hilarious) insight into modern American political history.

		During that time Hertzberg served a stint at Newsweek, two at The New Republic as its editor and two at The New Yorker, where he is now the featured writer of the opening Talk of the Town piece.
		Hertzberg brings the same skills and stance to his writing about the news media.
		Hertzberg served in the Navy stateside for two years during the Vietnam War, yet he seems to understand little of this.

	The Election (washingtonpost.com)
		Throughout these 30-plus years, Hertzberg has been one of the left's most eloquent voices, mainly at the New Yorker and the New Republic magazines.
		Hertzberg jokes self-effacingly about his "boringly moderate and consistent" views, and he's not one of those pundits who try to gain readers and buzz through calculated ideological surprises, like David Brooks defying expectations to back gay marriage or Thomas Friedman supporting the Iraq war.
		But if Hertzberg's stands are seldom shocking, you want to read him anyway for the cleverness and elegance with which he makes his points, and for the profound reasonableness that he reminds you lies at the heart of liberalism.

		Hertzberg also notes that three of the four remaining viable presidential candidates have admitted or "alluded" to illegal drug use in their own past.
		Beyond that, Hertzberg also admits that until now, the drug war hasn't received the extensive discussion and evaluation such a failing and expensive policy should be receiving; either from the media or from government.
		Clearly Hertzberg, who is trying to read political tea leaves, sees an incipient change in public attitude; one of enough magnitude to encourage him to give voice to some long pent-up dissatisfactions.

		In his editorial, Walzer asked, "Can There Be A Decent Left?" a question provoked by the spectacle of his progressive comrades rushing to judgment against their own country in the wake of 9/11.
		Perhaps Hertzberg is unaware that in Carribbean slave societies the morality rates for slaves exceeded the birth rates.
		Far from glorifying the institution, the framers avoided even using the words "slave" or "slavery" because the majority of them abhorred the institution and were determined to end it -- in fact were convinced it would shortly die of its own reactionary weight.

		Jimmy is the fellow who campaigned on the slogan, "If I ever lie to you, don't vote for me." He presided over an administration that saw American international prestige and American economic vitality sink to a post-World War II nadir while he transformed the presidency into a soapbox.
		From the literary plateau of the Carter White House, Hertzberg has vaulted from literary Himalaya to literary Himalaya, and now at the New Yorker he is touting Brock as heir to Arthur Koestler, author of "Darkness at Noon" and a writer in the vanguard of the anti-Communist literary movements of the 1940s.
		Hertzberg, writing in his usual spumoni of confusion, is not all that clear as to whether it is he or Brock who has likened me to a Communist, but I am not alone in receiving this gratifying accolade.

		Recently, liberal critics -- including both Hendrik Hertzberg and Kevin Drum -- have invoked the he said/she said hypothesis to account for the media's unjustifiable decision to treat the Swift Vets as "serious (though partisan) critics" of a certain Senator from Massachusetts.
		Hertzberg says nothing is going to change because gerrymandered districts prevent any sort of turnover in the House while small states, most of them red, dominate the Senate.
		Hertzberg's comments about the MSM were enlightening, however, in the sense that they explain how the media can be so biased: because it absolutely refuses to admit even to itself -- or especially to itself -- how biased it is. [In retrospect, that comment is unfair to Hertzberg.

		BACKGROUND: Hertzberg, writing in the December 17 issue of The New Yorker criticized as "dishonest" statements I made in a December 5 New York Times op-ed.
		Hertzberg wrote: "On the Op-Ed page of the Times, Ali Abunimah, of the Arab American Action Network, condemns "the targeting and killing of innocent civilians regardless of whether they are Israelis or Palestinians." It's a tired formula, and a dishonest one.
		In the radio program I respond in detail to Hertzberg's assertion, and demonstrated that there is an enormous mountain of evidence that Israel does deliberately target civilians, and that it is wrong to claim that killing innoncent Palestinians is morally superior to killing innocent Israelis.

	Hendrik Hertzberg Rules \| This Is Rumor Control
		Hendrik Hertzberg at The New Yorker is now officially my favorite magazine writer.
		Hertzberg’s weekly items in “Talk of the Town” are quite nicely filling the void left by Christopher Hitchens, who dove deep into the journalistic tank of Iraq war fever after 9/11 and has yet to resurface.
		Like the Hitchens of old, Hertzberg’s got the knack of saying things the way I wish I’d said them (but without Hitchens arcane historical references and laborious British public school-boy pomposity).

		Political essayist Hertzberg, who currently graces the pages of the New Yorker with his shrewd, balanced, and personable analysis, came to his calling naturally as the son of a Jewish activist-journalist and a Protestant history professor, as New Yorker editor David Remnick attests in his zestful introduction to this unprecedented and far-ranging collection.
		Hertzberg is a very bright guy but ideology warps his thinking.
		For instance, when discussing the issue of nudity on television he is totally unable to differentiate between nudity on a pay TV channel at 1 am in the morning and nudity during the SuperBowl half-time show.

		For those of us who hoped that Hendrik Hertzberg would refrain from further paeans to Al Gore in his defeat in 2000, we were sorely disappointed by Hertzberg's attack on Nader in the March 8th issue.
		Gore's defeat is Gore's responsibility alone, as witnessed by the miserable manner in which he handled his campaign, including, among other things: placing a conservative on his ticket (thus further alienating the left); distancing himself from an extremely popular incumbent; and mealy-mouthed "nice guy" debates that allowed George W. Bush to appear articulate.
		Also, it would be oh-so-nice if Hertzberg (and other pundits) got over Gore's victory in the "popular vote." Going in, all candidates knew that the electoral college is what mattered, and played the game accordingly.
