OMG: JournoList Banal Insanity Revealed

It is at times like this that I side with Mao and wonder if it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to euthanize all four-eyed eggheads.

This is some of the best shit ever, on the Internet.

Between this post, the ridonkulusness of the WaPo questions and the bankruptcy of every other paper — not mention Wonkette getting the scoop on the most important stories of the day, like that Cantor/Spears fandango — I think we can safely say we are witnessing, live, the demise of the media as we know it. After this shitty 9th grade-type email, I’m really ready to call it a day.

It’s nice to know that when a bunch of writers get together to chitchat in private they’re not limbering up their metonomy or doing iambic sprints — no they’re bitching about each other like 14-year-old girls. It gives an overgrown child a modicum of hope.

“From: Jonathan Chait
[-snip-]I’ll concede the point that you published the critique of Eve on your blog. However, trying not to be catty here, not everybody here may read your blog on a daily basis.”

That is the cattiest shit. Barack needs to somehow use this to save the economy.

Is K-Lo one of them JournOlists? ‘Cause I hear she’s down on Mexicans AND gays. Especially don’t put her in the same room with any Gay Mexicans, unless they’re Catholic, in which case she might let ‘em slide.

[re=274733]Colander[/re]: If cattiness could be monetized, this list could solve the financial crisis. Anyone want to look into creating cattiness default swaps?

Marty Peretz is a racist, this surprises people?

[re=274744]comradepaulson[/re]: Did you hear about the time when Mickey Kaus REDACTED Marty Peretz in the REDACTED with his REDACTED? It was hot.

WAKEUP PEOPEL, JOURNOLIST GROVE IS REAL, ALEX JONES HAS IT ALL ON VIDEO AT INFOPRISONWARS_ILLUMATTI_2020.COM .

[re=274755]Keram2[/re]: “When it comes to someone has insanely homophobic as Savage, I have no
problem saying that the dude’s [REDACTED], and that this may explain some
of his more execrable paroxysms about homosexuality. ”

It’s like Madlibs, literally.

[REDACTED] is a has-been hack with the sex appeal and good looks of Gilbert Gottfried, and I’m pretty sure he gets his jollies by tirelessly and very publically scrutinizing John Edwards’s sex life. He epitomizes everything that blows about Slate and, indeed, “centrist” journalism; plus, he has yet to respond to numerous charges of goat-fucking. [REDACTED] him.

[re=274771]tiny mexican[/re]: I happen to find Gilbert Gottfried HOTT. I orgazm every time I hear “AFLAC!!!”

[REDACTED] on the other hand, is, like Slate, tired and tedious. Gives me a limpy.

Oh Jesus, that was amazingly stupid and boring, and my life is inexplicably better now that I know precisely what I wasn’t missing out on.

[re=274729]SayItWithWookies[/re]: This list was allegedly about networking and bouncing ideas for articles around, but apparently it’s about who was seen TOTALLY HOLDING HANDS with Joey last weekend, OHMIGAWD, and how her skirt makes her (or maybe him) look like a total skank.

Who knew? Ed Henry takes his [REDACTED] exactly the same way I do!

[re=274781]grevillea[/re]: Verbal abuse from the Commander-in-chief?

Holy shit. This is better than that time [REDACTED] picked up that tranny hooker and stuffed his whole fist into his/her [REDACTED]. Then the cops came and beat [REDACTED] senseless before taking him to Dick Cheney’s underground lair on [REDACTED] island. Dick and [REDACTED] went out shooting [REDACTED] for sport. They they all went to Burger King and ordered [REDACTED]

[re=274799]Gallowglass[/re]: Wait, the only thing you didn’t redact was “Dick Cheney?” That’s [REDACTED].

What, no Truck[REDACTED]?

Also, the arguments are so heated because the stakes are so low.

“I think analyzing Peretz’s writing about Mexicans, or Palestinians, or whoever, is totally fair game.”

Yeah, I get them confused too. Those Asians all look alike.

“To wit– [REDACTED]”

Yep. Pretty much my feelings about this silliness as well.

The punditocracy really is like high school.

Almost as good as the [expletive deleted]s in the Watergate tapes.

[re=275036]chascates[/re]: It’s pretty simple. TNR’s reporting is unquestioningly the [REDACTED] in the business. Sure, Marty Peretz is a pretty huge mother-[REDACTED] piece of [REDACTED], and inarguably [REDACTED], but who really gives a [REDACTED] about those sub-human [REDACTED]? Can you name any better-written or more important stories than [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], or [REDACTED], written in the past decade? They were groundbreaking, and shook the political establishment to its core. And I’d put [REDACTED]‘s and [REDACTED]‘s writing up against Bill Shakespeare’s any day. Am I right? You’d have to be some kind of illiterate [REDACTED]-tard who spends all his time [REDACTED] off [REDACTED] in men’s rooms at truck stops not to see TNR’s greatness.

If you couldn’t surmise, I’m being [REDACTED].

everybody on journolist as well as anybody who actually finds these emails humorous needs to get out and try to stop getting turned down sexually so much. i can’t believe they talk about olbermann. they must be SO BORED.
