What's Weingarten Writing?
Each week, we settle in to read the ramblings of the maniacal Gene Weingarten. The Pulitzer Prize winning “humorist” from WaPo gave us a doozy of a column last week with his “New Laws of Writing.” While he promised to deliver more of those laws, he didn’t do it this week. Instead, he brings us a riveting interview. It is a rare treat to have Gene do an interview. Usually, his column is filled with fart jokes and recycled comedy bits.
What newsmaker could be SO fascinating that Gene spent his entire column interviewing?
If you guessed Jay Lynch, the main joke writer for “Bazooka Joe” comics, you win! (Winning being a highly subjective term.)
To read this interview is to get a peek into the psyche of Weingarten.
