    I’d still tap it.

    Actual photographic evidence that I know Ezra Klein. Having second thoughts, Post? Send Richard Cohen into his cubicle to befuddle young Master Klein with his Enormous Circular Tortoiseshell Glasses Frames of Infinitely Bewildering Bipartisan Nostalgia.

    How in hell is WaPo hiring people if they are on death’s doorstep? Does EK know something we don’t about…newspaper bailouts? This is the end of democracy! Wake up, sheeple! Soon the inadequate Muslin’s propaganda will go direct from Robert Gibbs’ BRAIN to the front page of WaPo!

    norbizness: You know Ezra Klein? Well I know Michael Calderone…what does that make us?

    When they make Dean Baker the business editor, then we’ll know we’ve conquered the Post.

    Lascauxcaveman: It’s called “jolly,” you dickweed. mookworthjwilson: Is he the right fielder for the Indians? Or was than Ivan Calderon?

  9. mookworthjwilson says at 2:04 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    norbizness: Ivan was a OF…but never played for the Indians, at least according to the Wikipedias…Michael Calderone was a hipster doofus who wore tight jeans at Rutgers University who now has a column/blog dealie at Politico…

    I thought WaPo only hired neocon Republican hacks?

  11. thefrontpage says at 2:09 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Why on earth is the Post getting rid of intelligent, experienced, knowledgable and talented real journalists on a regular basis–and the hiring tired, amateur, unprofessional hacks?

    And the paper’s wondering why its ads, readers, revenues, profits and subscribers are tanking?

    Unbelievable.

    thefrontpage: Front Page Simply Does Not Care For the Hiring of Bloggers for Journalism Purposes!

    (just ragging you, man)

    norbizness: Ah c’mon. If I wanted to really piss you off, I could have said “fat.”

    I still want his gaybies.

    Ezra has a classic closeted cock craving right wing troll that has been following him for like five years that has to be the stupidest dicksnout on the face of the earth. Wonder sometimes if it isn’t Ezra himself, doing some clever online character experiment to keep generating hits.
    Do like Ezra’s stuff about health care policy, though.

    norbizness: But but but…I thought you were The Left, a vague, ineffable, malign force pushing against the dog-eat-dog materialism God wants for all of us.

    Either that or a Pokemon.

    He used to be that, LittlePig. Now he’s the known as The Only Blogger to Quit Blogging whose Blog People Actually Miss.
