Lunchtime at the TNR cafeteria
On the same day that the poster child for the dark and seamy side of nepotism, Andrew Rosenthal, cited Byron York and Megan McArdle (? really?) as writers whose work he "admires", Ron Radosh writes of professional sniveler James Kirchick:
Just as I was about to publish the above, I was alerted to an important op-ed that appears in The Daily News written by James Kirchick…
[...]
I also should note that Mr. Kirchick writes for and is an editor at The New Republic. As long as writers like Mr. Kirchick appear in its pages, it is more than foolish to write this journal of opinion off as a source that is not worthy to read and learn from.
I don’t know that Kirchick has ever written anything "important" (his linked piece in The Daily News could have been edited down to "I know you are but what am I?") , but his public confessional that nobody will fuck him ranks right up there with Lee Siegal’s blogofacism series as a landmark piece of whiny-ass titty babyism so I guess that counts for something.
Marty Peretz must flip through resumes looking for people who list self-abasement under ‘hobbies’.

OT, but I saw the Wm. Weld endorsement over at one of the links. And I’m sure that will carry Massachusetts for Obama.
But, with all the other Republican endorsements coming in, isn’t it time for McCain to go full maverick and endorse Obama himself?
Holy moly! Mr. Kirchick’s column on his dating problems is a clue as to why he can’t get a date: “Waaaaaaaah, most gays are libs and I’m not, so they don’t wanna do me”.
I’ve always said, there is no one stupider than a Log Cabin rethug. Their official mission statement should be: “Kick me again, humiliate me, sh*t on me, (I’ll wear my wet suit), I luv it!”.
“McCain to go full maverick and endorse Obama himself?” I love that idea. It’ll show all the undecideds that McCain is really just like Obama, except with more experience and skin cancer. Should throw the race wide open.
And since Bible Spice is now sporting the latest in fashion from weareraellydemocrats.com, perhaps we can just have one big glorious four-way bipartisan finish with a group hug and a kumbaya to make it all better.
I’m sure being Marty’s cabana boy must have its perks, being labeled an “editor” among them.
As an editor myself, I must admit that, long ago, I got used to the idea that the title could be bestowed on any worthless idiot in the company. Kind of like “producer”. Or “Vice President”.
