Mailer converted
Norman Mailer has an entry in the Huffington Post about the Newsweek controversy, and starts it out with, "I'm beginning to see why one would want to write a blog." After discussing the possibility of some sort of dirty tricks involved, he says, "There still resides, however, under my aging novelist's pate a volunteer intelligence agent, sadly manque."
