Novak did the same thing in my mind with this, which is supposed to be a good part of the reason he should be taken seriously:

Their appreciation of him stems not from his eight years as a U.S. senator from Tennessee but from his role as Manhattan district attorney on the TV series 'Law & Order.'
This is just embarrassing.
that it is. Thx for the heads up.
