And isn’t _that_ a once-in-a-lifetime subject line. The agent that

Andrew Breitbart takes on so pointedly over at the HuffPoo isn’t just

any agent — he’s one of mine. In fact, Ari Emanuel was my one and

only agent for over 10 years, until he got to be a big-time macher,

and now he continues to look after me from afar, while other very

skilled people under him help me get (and keep, heh heh) my jobs.

So here’s the thing about Ari, and this will probably wreck his

career. Ari is a good guy. Forget Jeremy Piven’s character on

Entourage. Forget the fact that Ari will touch your arm constantly in

conversation, ask for high-fives all too often, and wore a hole

through the phrase “at the end of the day.” Ari Emanuel is a good

guy, decent, and on the bell curve that is Hollywood morality,

actually pretty honest. So I don’t like Breitbart calling him “scum.”

Meanwhile, judging from Ari’s blog entry: A writer, he’s not.
