The art of the scathing review is far from dead. P.J. O'Rourke takes on Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.'s collected diaries here. Just because a guy's dead is no reason to not get in a few solid kicks, eh?

I got some added amusement out of this because Rachel and I read several of Schlesinger's books during our AP History course. If memory serves, I wrote a paper agreeing with one of O'Rourke's points, that Schlesinger was rather charitable to President Jackson.

Found via Newmark's Door.
