Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

The Bronze Booby goes to . . . David Martin

This week's Bronze Booby goes to CBS News' David Martin who declared on Friday's CBS Evening News with Katie Couric (here for the online folder for CBS Evening News with Katie Couric video) this 'lovely':

"[Joe Dan] Whorely and all the other fighting men and women who carried the rest of us on their backs, have the most invested in the president's decision."

Martin was not providing commentary. He was allegedly reporting. The statement is insulting and offensive.

Suck on the right one, suck on the left one, you earned them, Martin.
