Hey, in Philadelphia, I’m a law professor!!

Frank Wilson has a review of Hugh Hewitt’s Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That’s Changing Your World in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer. This paragraph jumped out at me:
Hewitt notes that while it was left-of-center bloggers Atrios (Philadelphian Duncan Black) and Joshua Micah Marshall who got the anti-Lott swarm buzzing, it was conservative bloggers – notably the chameleonic Andrew Sullivan, whose coloration at the time was deemed conservative, and Republican law professor Daniel Drezner – who brought it to critical mass. On the other hand, during the Raines swarm, Marshall mentioned the affair only once.
Y’know, if I was earning the same salary as a law professor, I wouldn’t complain. UPDATE: Thanks to Warren Dodson for pointing out that Wilson was merely repeating what Hewitt wrote in Blog on p. 11: “Daniel Drezner, a University of Chicago law professor and uber-blogger, called for Lott’s resignation on Saturday . . . .” I’ll take the mis-designation in return for being called an uber-blogger. Hmmm…. note to self: contact Marvel Comics about new superhero idea…..
Daniel W. Drezner is a professor of international politics at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and the author of The Ideas Industry. Twitter: @dandrezner
