BAG IT

    Newsman Robert Rappaport and I both rolled our eyes at the funding credit for the 8:01 NPR news this morning: The NPR Shop is hawking the “Nina Totin’ Bag,” an accessory decorated with Warhol-style images of NPR legal-affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg. I guess you can use it to carry another popular NPR Shop item, the “emergency crank radio,” because you never know when you’ll need to hear a crank on the air.
    Surely KUAT Radio could raise the profile (though not the credibility) of its news team with similar promotions:
      The Robert Rappa-port, a tawny after-dinner wine.
      The Julie Bierstein, for those who prefer ale.
      And, if you’re unwise enough to use those products while driving, you’ll need the Bill Mortuary.
