    I remember rumors about Lester being the father years ago. And I'm pretty sure Mrs. Orbach died some time this spring.

    @louise: Yes, she died of pneumonia in April. You'd think the Post would've mentioned that...well, no, I guess you wouldn't.

    Oh, for fuck's sake, indeed. Remember when you interviewed me for PR Week, Hamilton? You know, when you worked there? Back then, I told you that I liked PR people, that I found the good ones extremely useful and helpful. You certainly seemed fine with PR people then: http://www.brandrepublic.com/InDepth/Features/577004/Interview-Rachel-Sklar/?DCMP=ILC-SEARCH

    @Hamilton Nolan: Actually, yes, it is: That's the gist of the post, which I liked. When I like something, I tweet it out. I liked this. (I also liked the Entourage piece, but I'm biased because I wrote it. Just like I have always liked the Gawker "Our Advertisers" posts which are done by Gawker people in the Gawker voice.) If Gossip Girl sponsors Gawker, will you guys not do your roundup that week? If Diet Coke sponsors Mediaite, am I supposed to stop mentioning that I've had twelve that day? Never mind that this is from my personal Twitter. As always, I am confused about what all the hubbub is about.

    So anyway: My point of bringing up that interview you did with me three years ago is to demonstrate how my views are pretty much exactly the same. It's pretty fucking simple: I liked the post.

    @RachelSklar: "As always, I am confused about what all the hubbub is about."

    Read that about 1,000 times. If it somehow sinks in after that, perhaps some progress will have been made.

    I'm not sure why anyone would see something "By SPONSORED CONTENT" and keep reading, but that's just me.

    @Hamilton Nolan: Gawker runs ads for Nurse Jackie and then does reviews for it. There are numerous instances where Gawker editorial and Gawker ad department have crossed paths. Do I even need to mention Bloodcopy?

    Gawker posts advertisements meant to look like editorial posts right in with the editorial.

    Can you guys please stop acting like you're any different?

    @RachelSklar: Come on. A "sponsored post" is one that's paid for. If you weren't paid to put out, say so. If you were on retainer to put out (ie you were married to the product) say so. Is easy. Otherwise when I see this I'm going to hit you up with my:

    well, based on the sponsored post, which I did read (thanks Gawker!) it's hard to tell which loathes the other more, publicists or reporters...

    Which is it, media experts?

    -------Are reporters just thin veneers of respectability, in place to provide another channel for organizations to get their message out, via money spent on publicists rather than money spent on ad buys?

    -------Or are reporters principled defenders of the Truth, using and abusing publicists as they see fit, all in the pursuit of an honestly reported story, a balanced, comprehensive report on the issues of the day?

    I don't think he's overplaying his hand. He's doing what he does: make projections. In the national election his projections turned out to be spot on.

    I hear Coleman is challenging perfectly good votes for Franken just to keep his numbers up at the end of each news cycle - so he can continue fundraising for the recount. Unambiguously vote for Mccain and Franken? Then you must be a blind, confused retard. CHALLENGE!
