So we already noted that Sen. Bernie Sanders was quoted Friday on the air waves of National Public Radio in a story by Elizabeth Shogren on global warming legislation. That's just the tip of the iceberg, it turns out.

Sunday, Sanders was featured in the New York Times Magazine. Mark Leibovich wrote a profile of "the Socialist Senator." The story mentions Sanders' hair, of course, and his rise up the political ladder electoral loser to fluke to winner. My favorite part was how the writer picked up on Sanders' pronounciation of the word 'huge' as 'yooge.'

Want to read more about Sanders. According to his staff, he's being quoted a lot in his new role as one of the country's elite 100.

Erin Campbell said in an email to us, “The national press Bernie has been receiving of late is exciting and very helpful in spreading the word about his progressive agenda, which includes closing the gap between the rich and the poor in America and moving our country towards sustainable energy. On Friday alone NPR, the New York Times, the L.A. Times, and the Nation covered Sanders in stories discussing his global warming legislation, his amendment to the ethics reform legislation, and his questioning of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke. He was also recently the subject of international print profiles in the BBC as well as Agence France-Presse.”

Wow. That's yooge. Of course, Washington knows how to keep all this attention from going to his head. Leibovich writes that Sanders and staff remain in some temporary office space --two months after winning his spot in the Senate and several weeks after taking his oath of office.
