Once and Future King of Fail

Okay. Now I need ANOTHER new keyboard… You can wipe the beer off the monitor, but when it squirts out of your nose and down onto the keyboard…

“I don’t think I’ve had that conversation yet,” he told me.

Either he’s had the conversation or he hasn’t but he’s on the money when he says he doesn’t think.

No!

I know this is infinitely snarkworthy, but let’s take him at face value for a second.

Can anyone, anywhere, say something like this and keep their job? Seriously.

Oh, hey, yeah, well, sorry Punch, but I know I’ve been putting out rote boilerplate ninnery for a year plus that hasn’t had a substantive fact or original thought in it, and sure, I didn’t tell you about my endless conflicts-of-interest, but what do you want from me?

I was stealing your money. What did you expect?

Also: can you just send me money in exchange for NOT writing?

Regards,

bill

The shiteating morons at the Times will re-sign him anyway. Failure can’t come fast enough for these idiots.

They will sound better and not embarrass themselves so much.</p> Can’t we just stop the madness with the “fair and balanced” myth?
