Edward Snowden is milking it.
The briefly anonymous leaker has leaped into the public spotlight — and now he’s risking overexposure in a big way. Public relations pros and image makers say Snowden’s repeated interviews and growing number of claims are making him look like someone who’s exploiting his sudden worldwide fame for personal glory, and that threatens to undermine the very privacy crusade for which he said he’s willing to give his life.

"We have actually been saying this from the start. But we have never said he should stop talking. The more he talks, the more truth comes out. About himself, as well.
"But the Politico and the rest of the Democrat operatives in and out of the press are noticing that his charges are hurting Obama, after all. (Witness that CNN poll from two days ago.) So they want him to shut up.
"And, if they can’t get him to stop talking, they will settle for discrediting him as a ‘celebrity wannabe.’ "
