Hired a self-hating gay guy from Liberty University to write for his website just for the pageviews. Never read the guy's writing, just knew he was adequately inflammatory. What a douchebag, huh? Better yet, his site (and people have been murmuring about Ezra Klein's New Website Project for a while now) is called "Vox," which most people recognize from the Latin phrase vox populi, "voice of the people," though anyone familiar with Klein and his execrable fealty to the Beltway consensus knows that if he were any more allergic to a populist voice, he'd need an instant shot of epinephrine.


EDIT: Yes, I'm aware of the irony inherent to Gawker calling people out for clickbait.

I didn't need to read or click to second this nomination. He is a longtime D-bag.

Ezra Klein reminds me of every bright-eyed, bushy-tailed shitbird I ever knew in high school who got good grades for the sake of getting good grades but could never formulate a meaningful thought. Most of them were in DECA.

Brandon Ambrosino is one of a kind.

"Being gay is a choice and it's my choice and it's wrong" is something that could only come out of Jerry Falwell U. I have a special personal hatred for that place.

No/no. Ex-girlfriend left me for her ex-boyfriend who went there. Been some time now, but that's not the sort of thing one's ego recovers from, you know.

This clown was supposed to be the Ronin Farrow before Ronin Farrow was Ronin Farrow. A hipster, self-congratulatory water carrier for the Left that was going to get all the young and cool kids to watch MSNBC and care.

Didn't work out.

Love Norm, especially when he just didn't give a fuck anymore.

You know, for all Ronan Farrow's accomplishments, "talking into a camera" sure isn't one of them.

I'm pretty surprised this thread went 10 responses so far without anybody posting a reference to the Chappelle Show skit.
