OK NOW IT’S TIME TO START HATING NATE SILVER: Remember how Nate Silver was working on a two-book deal? Well GOOD GOD: “New intelligence says Mr. Silver’s advance is in the neighborhood of $700,000, give or take a few grand. Now Mr. Silver just has to choose which imprint he likes best, a process that is unlikely to be resolved before next week.” Nate Silver is the only person in American history to realize the American Dream. [NY Observer]
Thank God Obama will be taxing him to death.
Don’t fret fellow hatahs’: It’ll all be play money by the time January hits anyway.
I hate Nate Silver for his ability to do high-level mathematics, not for his money. Am I a nerd?
Nate needs to make babies with Rachel Maddow. I will freeze myself to wait for any daughters they may have.
That is all.
And he’s Jewish.
It’s tough when you don’t live in the hobo jungle the way we will be doing sooner than we (care to) think. Maybe Nate will give us dimes. Sort of like J D Rockefeller.
He’ll probably go with FSG. Snob.
Meanwhile, Dubya can’t even get Regnery Publishing to return his calls. It’s a good day.
NOBODY HAS EVEN READ MY MANIFESTO THIS IS UPSURD AND SHANT CONTINUE ANGER IS BOILING WHERE THE FUCK IS MY BOOK DEAL GIMME GIMME GIMME $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Not another blog -> book deal!
I just hope he doesn’t go on Extreme Makeover & come out looking like John Stamos. Nate has made geek chic again (well, for the first time).
Nate is on Hardball right now–he’s getting the TV interview down a little better. (He doesn’t look like he wants to throw up anymore.)
It would be cool if Obama found room for him in his administration, something like: secretary of knowing stuff and shit.
Mathematically speaking, $700,000 is a nice chunk o’ scratch.
Not enough. He’ll need Bill Gates kinda money to buy his way out of his nebishness.
Hah, Nate the numbers fucker has to do high math to count his monies. Quick, Nate, how many puppies is that?
If Natez getting 700 thooosand then Joe the Plumber is getting like a bunch.
Damn. Just think of all the graph paper and protractors a guy could buy with $700K.
Haha, next step for Nate will be joining the GOP. Join the dark side Nate.
Hmmm… maybe now he will be able to afford something nicer than Dwight Schrute’s wardrobe.
On the scale of Jews I like and dislike, Nate Silver ranks much higher than Larry Summers…
Good thing you wrote “realize the American dream” rather than “secure the American dream.” ‘Cause “Joe” the “Plumber” is apparently have the same problem of finding the right imprint:

As if we needed another reason to suck Nate’s cock. Ka-ching, baby.
Hound: Fuck You! Sincerely the Mormons.
You man now he can actually afford a condo in Chicago?
There’s no reason to hate this young go-getter. In a few years $700 large will be available on one single bill, kind of like Zimbabwe’s $1billion bills. He’ll have to perform in thong at a lap dance club for Chinese money just like the rest of us.
Oh yeah. (not sure which I like the thought of more, Nate in a thong or tasty Chinese money)
Just remember, Nate, I’ve loved you before the money.
so sexy. so rich….
Well that settles it. I am definitely marrying Nate now. Unless Chuck Todd gets a fancy book advance. Then I will be undecided again.
Nate said the Rays would win 88 games. Elections come and go but picking that is really impressive.
Great, another round of my mom asking me why I can’t be more like that nice Nate Silver boy.
This is GREAT news–FOR JOHN MCCAIN!!!
538ers will get this, honest….
One Yield Regular: Next Step for Nate: make a real crappy Joe dePlumber website and ask people to pay $14 bucks for a premium membership (even though every page has an ‘under construction’ banner on it.)
Nate, I’ll buy your book please please please have good pixxx of you with formulaz
I’m waiting for the Nate Silver duet compilation album deal that obviously is forthcoming. I wonder if he’ll go with Timbaland or Dupree for producer?
Those long 24 years of Nerdist Activism are finally paying tangible social dividends. 133t number pr0n Rų13N!!!11!!!!!!1
Total list of people in the world making a profit in 2008:
1) Barack Obama
2) Rachel Maddow
3) Nate Silver
4) Clothing manufacturers for Sarah Palin
He was already wealthy, I think, based on the proceeds from his sale of PECOTA.
Maybe he can now buy his mom’s house instead of renting her basement
Nate Silver is the only person in American history to realize the American Dream.
You mean, while rifling through the dumpster outside the unemployment office he found a discarded tuna fish can with some actual tuna fish left in the bottom? Bastard.
One Yield Regular: Dammit, did I write “is have”? Surely I meant “is haz.”
All he needs to do now is to date a supermodel and buy a jet.
OffTheRecord: Chuck Todd has book deals out the ying-yang!

You hate Nate Silver? Just wait ’till Joe the Plumber gets a $100K advance on his Country album.
I hope he writes the entire book while wearing pajamas and then fucks a stripper who looks just like Sarah Palin on top of a pile of money.
…$700,000? Isn’t that like worth 2 cans of beans and a used butt-plug now-a-days?
my god. I had no idea the extent of his nerd hotness…that’s it. I’m leaving the husband and kids.
northernbassist: Ha! Pent Kent would agree …
(God, I spend too much time on the internet :-/)
he was talking with his hands, he must Jewish.
goodie! with that extra dough hanging around, hopefully he’ll be in the market to hire a personal research assistant/sex slave. I think I’ll start typing up a resume just in case.
Oh, good, I was wondering when it was going to be Nate-hating time. Now that the election is over, we can discard him with disdain for how terribly “mainstream” he’s become. Y’know, since we don’t need to masturbate over his regression simulations on a twice-daily basis anymore.
also, Jewdishoowary Square: I find his precisely-tinged electoral maps far more exciting (in the dirty way) than his money or whatever the hell that hairdo is. I think *that* makes me a nerd.
walkaway: roger that and back atcha!!
Mutually-mastubatory, NYC publication house, prissy gossip. Don’t care.
Darfur.
There had better be pr0n.
All these years and nobody ever told me math was sexy.
Good for him! Maybe he’ll lose his virginity this year.
What is with all the Nate haters!
Damn. Now I’m a starter wife. But I can live off $350,000. Go on with your bimbo younger woman who only likes you for your money. Fine. I’m getting a hot pool boy and Peggy Noonan’s superb bartending butler to console me.
Oh, and, I’ve been inspired:

Hound: He’s the archetype. The Emanuel Brothers and Nate Silver are the yardstick which all Jewish boys are measured against. And people wonder why we are so neurotic.
You know he’s going to blow the whole wad on rare first edition statistics texts.
Wonkette editors: You knew that “two-book,” used here as a compound adjective should be hyphenated — which is more than the editors of either the NY Observer or the Huffington Post knew. You rock all the way back to fifth grade! Surely there’s an additional tax for competence that will be deducted from your salary.
Next up for Nate: a reality TV show where a bunch of Ivy League-educated Jewesses compete for his baseball card collection.
apparently any fag with a receding hairline qualifies as a journalist
The arc of justice is long, but it bends towards brainy heebs. Tru fax.
