GQ needs a spine


GQ may not be the most macho magazine in its segment, but it does have its fair share of solid writing, so it comes as quite a shock that a piece on the infighting in Hillary Clinton's election camp, scheduled for next month's issue should have been dropped. According to The Slate GQ editor Jim Nelson may have come under pressure from the Clintons to drop the piece.
Slate writer Mickey Kaus has thrown down the gauntlet, demanding that the piece be published somewhere else...maybe even online.
"Could the piece have been as bad for the Clinton camp as the publicity they're now getting?" asks Kaus.
Maybe we will never know. GQ needs to come clean or risk losing a number of its readers.
