David Remnick '81 to publish "pimped out" biography of Barack Obama

David Remnick '81, editor-in-chief of The New Yorker (and former Press Clubber aw yeah!), has a biography of Barack Obama in the works. The Alfred A. Knopf imprint of Random House said it plans to publish the bio on April 6.Remnick's written about Obama in the past, and he promises the book would not simply be a "pimped out" version of this New Yorker article published in November 2008.Confession: Remnick didn't say "pimped out," but rather "pumped up," but the New York Times' ArtsBeat blog had reported he had. Which is hilarious, because, does anyone at The New Yorker use "pimp" as a verb not ironically?(hat tip to Daily Intel for catching the switch)
