Podhoretz was a contributor to The Corner, a group blog run by ''National Review''. At ''The Weekly Standard'', one staff member said, Podhoretz's "arrogance and egotism had a psychological effect people can't quite believe." At ''The Washington Times'' a colleague reported, he was "permanently frozen in juvenalia." Glenn Garvin, the Central American bureau chief of the ''Miami Herald'', once said that at the ''Times'', Podhoretz "constantly complained that his brilliance wasn't appreciated."〔http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/media/features/1968/index1.html〕 On January 1, 2009, Podhoretz became editor of ''Commentary'', succeeding Neal Kozodoy, who had been editor since 1995, when Norman Podhoretz retired.
