Covering the unknown Supreme Court nominee.

Hmmm... just checking the Site Meter referrals and seeing that I'm getting traffic from the Washington Post. It's this article (on page 2) -- Howard Kurtz, writing about the Supreme Court appointment -- or, really, the strangeness of all the media coverage of the appointment in this period before anyone's been selected. Kurtz quotes this post of mine. And he collects lots of other commentary -- quite interesting -- about the unknown nominee and the Senate response to him/her.

I notice Kurtz refers to me only as "Ann Althouse," not "blogger Ann Althouse" or "law professor Ann Althouse" or "blogging law professor Ann Althouse" or "law professing blogger Ann Althouse." Not sure whether that makes me feel famous or obscure.

Ann: I'd say you should feel famous, because Kurtz has now made you a brand name! Like Xerox or Kleenex! Doesn't it sound like that in his article?

"Ann Althouse -- for creamy, bloggy goodness. Good til the last post."

"Cooking enthusiast"? Where the hell did that come from?

When Althouse blogs, people listen.
