Vanity Fair in Copenhagen

Our clandestine correspondent we keep on retainer just wired in this item for review:
"Why it has probably never been more fun to be George Will: 'Olympic Gold for Narcissism' (Townhall.com, October 5, 2009)" -- excerpt:
In the 41 sentences of her remarks, Michelle Obama used some form of the personal pronouns "I" or "me" 44 times. Her husband was, comparatively, a shrinking violet, using those pronouns only 26 times in 48 sentences. Still, 70 times in 89 sentences was sufficient to convey the message that somehow their fascinating selves were what made, or should have made, Chicago's case compelling.
