Brit Hume in the Post
The Post has a pretty thorough bio piece on Brit Hume, today.
No doubt, this will be controversial. I notice that some liberal blogs have already chimed in. And I'm sure there are some slights at Hume's conservatism, within the pages.
But putting political ideology aside, I always encourage people to read biographies and columns like this.
The reason is that it helps to understand that Brit Hume didn't just become "famous" one day. He has had a long career full of ups and downs and victories and triumphs (which are detailed in the article).
Like all of us, he faced both personal hurdles (such as his son's suicide), and professional hurdles.
I always find that bio pieces provide the reader a greater persective on how careers are really built (versus the myth that someone got "lucky"). Even the people who make it to the top have had to endure numerous struggles.
This is good for us to remember...
