Some Strange Website Is Yelling Mean Things About Your Editor

We have been drawn, via our referrals, to some new thing called the Atlantic Wire, which tells you what every pundit and blogger is writing about at all times! It is the anti-porn. But “incoherence” is our goal here, so thank you weird new hyperspeed Atlantic thing! [Atlantic Wire]

    I’ve got a radio in my fingernail car!

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:42 pm, November 5th, 2009

    JIM NEWELL IS INCOHERENT AND ABUSIVE .

    There’s a reason you were PUMA PIG OF THE WEEK.

  3. ForTheTurnstiles says at 5:43 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Can’t make it out, for the Incoherence.

  4. PsycGirl says at 5:45 pm, November 5th, 2009

    They have a sidebar about Carrie Prejean’s sex tape “The battle between the beauty queen and gay rights advocates hits bottom”
    So is it a spanking video then?

  5. Humpback says at 5:45 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Just because THEY don’t understand does not make it incoherent. And the abuse was deserved, I’m sure.

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 5:46 pm, November 5th, 2009

    That was abusive?! They haven’t seen your posts about Sarah Palin.

  7. shadowMark says at 5:47 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Be warned, Jim Newell, abusive bastard, Meghan twittered a couple of days ago:

    “Most chicks say ‘if you hurt me, I’ll
    die’… I say, ‘if you hurt me, I’ll kick your
    ass” - Pat Benatar

  8. problemwithcaring says at 5:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Any site that list E.J. Dionne as America’s top opinion maker knows a thing or two about incoherence, Jim. Heed them!

  9. OzoneTom says at 5:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    That’s the Jim that we know and love.

  10. Aflac Shrugged says at 5:51 pm, November 5th, 2009

    That’ll be the last time Jim Newell throws away a pre-approved, zero-APR-for-the-first-minute Bank of America Visa application.

  11. Phew, for a second there was a shortage of reporters reporting about other reporters. Thanks, the Atlantic, for meta-covering this important navel.

  12. Extemporanus says at 5:52 pm, November 5th, 2009

    tl;dr

  13. How dare they say mean things @ our editor!! Only Wonketteers can say mean things @ Jim Newell!!

  14. Atheist Nun says at 5:53 pm, November 5th, 2009

    “Jim Newell is incoherent and abusive…” a.k.a. Drunk.

  15. Forget it, Jim. It’s the Atlantic.

  16. Today we are all incoherent and abusive.

    Today we are all Jim Newell.

    I never wanted to be a ginger, but what the hell…

  17. whenPUMAsattack says at 6:00 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Seriously, who read that as “THE TICKLER” for a few seconds before coming back down…

  18. DustBowlBlues says at 6:01 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Wonkette isn’t anywhere in the top 50, so I don’t think this list has any legitimacy. The ticker thingy was going by, but that’s mostly annoying and I didn’t want to wait to see if Jim came up in incoherence again. This looks like it might be a good device to remind me when I’ve missed Frank Rich, however.

    I watched a 30 minute online conference with Linda Feldman of the CS Monitor, so I can skip the rest of this shit.

    Wonkette/CSM: Keeping my world balanced between the hyper incoherent and the hyper coherent.

  19. The word incoherent seems to be coalescing into a coherent wave in that sentence.

  20. Being called incoherent and abusive by the Atlantic is like finding a shiny new toy in your stocking. Merry Xmas Jim!

  21. WAR BLOG!

    W-A-R B-L-O-G!!!!!

    We’ll drive those Mutherfudkin’ Swine into the se . . . .

    Oh, wait a minute.

    It’s “The Atlantic.”

    Never mind.

  22. DoctorCulturae says at 6:11 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Incoherent and abusive about incoherent abuse? So, a negative plus a negative equals a positive? That is, coherence? How dare you Jim Newell! Oh the humanity!

  23. magic titty says at 6:12 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Jim Newell is bigger than the INTERNET.

  24. user-of-owls says at 6:15 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Extemporanus: %t)}^%$k;?!!

  25. user-of-owls says at 6:17 pm, November 5th, 2009

    The fucking “Atlantic Wire”?! Doesn’t Big Marconi realize we can see right through these sham advocacy groups for underwater cables?!

  26. Let’s get the United States Army on The Atlantic. Those folks will shoot ANYBODY . . . .

  27. Tommmcatt says at 6:24 pm, November 5th, 2009

    They don’t mention the MASSIVE THROBBING SEXXXYNESS, though.

  28. Scruffy_The_Janitor says at 6:24 pm, November 5th, 2009

    It’s now clear that Jim Newell owns 100% of the internet’s stock.

  29. house of the blue lights says at 6:28 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Now we know where Jim was this morning.

  30. The Atlantic Wire has WON THE EVENING

  31. travellabyrinth says at 6:33 pm, November 5th, 2009

    To fight the Atlantic, you must be Pacific. Being specific is no substitute for being elastic. In every abuse there is a bus, and every bus backs up into a sub, with which the resourceful captain may chart new depths. Being pacific in his sub-bus of abuse, a continent of elastic discontinuity, whose bounty is unending and ever bending.

  32. Mr Blifil says at 6:36 pm, November 5th, 2009

    I’m not familiar with this “Jim Newell” person, why is he deemed to be so influential with his trenchant invocations of buttsecks all the time?

  33. chascates says at 6:42 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Isn’t the Webby Award for the Best Web-thing coming up? We need to make sure we smack down the opposition. Except for Shorts, that is.

  34. Tomorrow: The Atlantic breaks the shocking news that The Onion has been fabricating interviews for their stories

  35. El Pinche says at 6:47 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Reply back with an equally abusive youtube response. Grow a double chin and say , “No, you don’t.”

  36. rocktonsammy says at 6:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    May be this is an intervention.

  37. user-of-owls says at 7:16 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: He is aware of all internet traditions.

  38. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:20 pm, November 5th, 2009

    chascates: GIMME YER NOMNOMNOMINATION, alls ya.

  39. DustBowlBlues says at 7:39 pm, November 5th, 2009

    travellabyrinth: Reading your comments gave me a headache, but I think they were brilliant, anyway.

    Pass the aspirin.

  40. Jukesgrrl says at 8:16 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Dear AtlanticWhatever, If Jim Newell can’t be incoherent and abusive at Wonkette, what would be the appropriate venue? Surely you don’t expect him to hold it in? Inquisitively, Jukesgrrl

  41. el donaldo says at 8:20 pm, November 5th, 2009

    http://www.theatlanticwire.com/opinions/view/opinion/6-Funniest-Take-Downs-of-Medias-Election-Coverage-1502

    they’re also accusing you of going a little over the top in the election liveblogging.

  42. Oldskool says at 8:49 pm, November 5th, 2009

    They need to make up their mind. I don’t think you can be one of “the most influential opinion makers” and “incoherent” at the same time. Can you? I’m pretty sure Republicans put that one to rest years ago.

  43. Pat Pending says at 9:10 pm, November 5th, 2009

    isn’t is better to be incoherent and abusive, than, say incontinent and abusive?

  44. proudgrampa says at 9:14 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Oh. Who freakin’ cares?

    I still loves ya, Jim.

  45. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 9:24 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Tell Sully to StFu already.

  46. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:37 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Since when has “abusive” been a synonym for “intoxicated.”

  47. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:40 pm, November 5th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: I mean outside of the South.

  48. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:35 am, November 6th, 2009

    “Incoherent.” - Michael Medved, Newsday

    “Abusive.” - Rex Reed, Variety

    “Incoherent and Abusive.” - The Ticker, The Atlantic

    “I think he may have been trying to be abusive, but his incoherence made it difficult to say.” - Oscar Wilde, Punch

  49. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:19 am, November 6th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: You know, I refuse to read anything now days unless there is a pull quote from Punch.

  50. travellabyrinth: I’m lovin’ it.
