Chron's Mason interviewed in National Journal Hotline

The National Journal’s Hotline just ran an interview with Chronicle White House correspondent Julie Mason.

The Hotline is subscriber-only, but here’s a brief, fair-use excerpt of the interview:

What is your favorite book and why?

Confederacy of Dunces. Over the years, I have surreptitiously slipped one or two Confederacy references into newspaper stories, just little turns of phrase. And sometimes, when I am having a bad newspaper day, I silently invoke Ignatius J. Reilly’s trenchant line, “My excellence confuses them.” It’s a great comfort to me and my valve.

Maybe Mason will post more of her answers on her new blog (they’re her answers, so that surely wouldn’t violate copyright).

Thanks to Evan for the heads up on the interview.
