The Empty Suit Interviews Himself

I'm on the road this week, but I did check in with the New York Times today and found something unusual. The Empty Suit, Times spokesman (a/k/a "public editor") Barney Calame, had an interview on Sunday with himself.

Now I realize this was billed as an interview with the Times' "standards editor," Allan Siegal. But since Calame himself is a management shill, it really read like the kind of Q&A that people write up sometimes in which they both ask and answer the questions.

Anyway, I am glad that the Empty Suit got off his divan. Gotta do that every now and then, to avoid bed sores!
