I think Fareed Zakaria just friended me. But it is the friendship that dare not speak my name.
Zakaria's cover story today on Iran contains the following sentence: "In an interview last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the Iranian regime as a `messianic, apocalyptic cult."
In an interview with whom, exactly? Zakaria's wording makes it seem as if the interview was conducted by, oh, Fareed Zakaria, but as best as I can tell, the interview was conducted by yours truly, for The Atlantic. And not, by the way, "last week," but in March.
A few paragraphs later, Zakaria writes, "One of Netanyahu's advisers said of Iran, `Think Amalek.'" Said it to whom? Again, yours truly, for a New York Times op-ed piece that did, indeed, run last week.
The question is, How do I reciprocate this new friendship? By stealing his shit? Maybe Goldblog readers could help: Are there any good quotes from Zakaria's interviews with world leaders that I could lift for the Atlantic?
