From our Late to the Party desk:

The hardworking staff continues to believe that New York Times executive editor Bill Keller’s column in the paper is a bad idea.

Previous transgression:  His column last month that included this unfortunate lede:

According to the list makers at Forbes, I am the 50th most powerful person in the world — not as powerful as the Pope (No. 5) but more powerful than the president of the United Arab Emirates (56). Vanity Fair, another arbiter of what matters, ranked me the 26th most influential person in the country. The New York Observer, narrowing the universe to New York, put me 15th on its latest “Power 150,” a list that stretches from Michael Bloomberg to Lady Gaga. New York magazine asked Woody Allen to name the single most important person in our city; he named — aw, shucks — me.

Next transgression: This thumbsucker about liberal media arch-nemises James O’Keefe and Julian Assange, in which Keller flogs the Times for its recent shortcomings while flogging Times critics for their various shortcomings.

(Full disclosure: The hardworking staff is not on this earth long enough to chronicle them all.)

And now today’s submission:

Last year, Gabriel Schoenfeld, a veteran of the conservative magazineCommentary, published a book that explained how The New York Times could be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. The book said a lot of other things too, but you’ll understand why that particular proposition stuck in my mind. At one point Schoenfeld conjured an image of authorities “frog-marching a shackled Bill Keller into court.”

Updated Times slogan: All the Keller that fits, we print.

Enough, already.
