Ezra Klein Might Be a Baby Dick

Obviously I am not personally privy to it, but Ezra Klein's JournoList sounds like an shit-tacular waste of time. I guess nothing promotes progressive and original thought like "ooooooohhh, let me form a club with people who think exactly like me, and we can practice saying things without being picked on!!"

Hmm.

To be honest, I woulda guessed the opposite - bloggers at that level from different sides of the aisle scheming behind our backs; arguing things out with each other before printing, or even staging little "fights." I guess that's the WWF in me (RIP Kevin Von Erich...well, and every Von Erich that ever stepped into a ring.*) I mean christ, the only opposition I ever can gin up here is THE GNAT**, but he's just a fucking idiot, and then some "Anonymous" who goes to pieces every time I mention the name (I'll whisper it to you, sweetie..."Bush.") I'd ask myself if Ezra Klein has any friends he can just bounce ideas off of occassionally a la email or whatever, but the answer to that is probably "Yes...and they're all on the JournoList." So.

* Turns out Kevin is the only Von Erich still alive:

Kevin Ross Adkisson (born May 15, 1957) is a retired professional wrestler under the ring name Kevin Von Erich of the Von Erich Family. He is the last surviving son of wrestler Fritz Von Erich and had four brothers that wrestled, David, Kerry, Mike and Chris, as well as an older brother, Jack, Jr., who died in 1959.

Jesus christ...where's THIS family's Saving Private Ryan flick? Man.
