About the Author (From Wikipedia ):

He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 with a B.A. in English. He was a Morehead Scholar and on the staff of the student paper, The Daily Tar Heel.[1] Bruni graduated second in his class with an M.S. degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. At Columbia he also won a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship.

From 1990 to 1995 he worked for the Detroit Free Press in an assortment of positions including covering the Persian Gulf War. In 1995, Bruni joined The New York Times as a metropolitan reporter and often wrote for the New York Times magazine and for Sunday Arts. He was promoted to the Rome bureau chief (July 2002–March 2004) and worked as a reporter in the Washington, D.C., bureau (December 1998–May 2002). While in D.C., Bruni was assigned to cover Capitol Hill, Congress, Governor George W. Bush’s presidential campaign, and the White House. His book Ambling into History chronicles this assignment.

Bruni wrote in Men’s Vogue of his search for a workout to combat the calories he consumes as a food writer,[2] and in the April 2008 issue he wrote about his addiction to sleeping pills.[3] Bruni’s book, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-Time Eater was released in 2009, and spent a week on the New York Times best seller list.[4] Since then he has written general interest and food-related columns for the Times, in part filling the “food writer at large” role that had been unfilled since the 2006 death of the Times’ reporter R. W. Apple, Jr.[5]

In March 2012, Bruni was awarded the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Newspaper Columnist.

As far as I can tell NO ONE in Tampa was identified by what they do in bed with another adult. Even Clint Eastwood didn't tell us his preferences... That works for me... I don't need to know who's into '50 Shades of Gray', backseat sex in drive-ins, etc.

Don't gay people have anything else to talk about? Gays are like vegetarians - all they want to talk about is their obsession. It's boring. Really. Soooooo boring. Get a hobby boys... Anything - well, anything except being vegetarian...

Wow, I am less opposed to gays than most freepers (but certainly NOT interested in any spats with anyone over that issue) and spent a few years in school for fashion design (which will explain previous comment), and subscribe to plenty of fashion rags, and i had no idea that there was a Men’s Vogue. Creepy.

Sounds like a fraud. I was graduated from the columbia university graduate school of journalism with a ms, and all of the classes were pass fail. I suppose they may habe changed it but when I was there, there was no way to declare somebody as second in his class.

I'd be puking my guts out, too, if I ate what he does.

“Bruni is openly gay.[7] He has struggled with his eating and bulimia”

So he’s mentally ill. Most homosexuals are.

That apparantly means there are more problems the man has with things going into his mouth.
