The Dept. of Bragiculture

These are the reactions being tossed about today amongst Washington’s Press Corps. with the release of NYT‘s Jodi Kantor’s new book, The Obamas, that comes out next week. Reporters are having strong, negative reactions to remarks she made to Chicago Magazine about her relationship to the Obamas that also appeared in this morning’s Politico Playbook. With her boastful tone about interacting with the Obamas, could Kantor be stumbling upon that not so quaint hamlet known as Humblebrag? It’s a place where, not surprisingly, residents toot their own horn.
