    I just like that he's willing to step out with a book that calls him a "fresh piece." #billoreilly

    That anyone would name their autobiography "A Bold, Fresh, Piece of Humanity" is insanely narcissistic and crazy. That the book is by Bill O'Reilly is both shocking and predictable at the same time. #billoreilly

    Whoopi makes a very sassy Phil Spector.

    That all it takes is goth wear to make Barbara Walters look about 50 years younger is both horrifying and wonderful. #billoreilly

    "I thought you were a little bit older than that". What a jackass. Plus, to Whoopi's credit she hasn't aged in like 15 years. She looks exactly the same as she did in Ghost. While Bill is counting his liver spots. #billoreilly

    Political Correctness can suck my ass. Who care's if someone is offended? I am wayyyy past the point of caring if a bunch of pissy liberals think everything we say is racist. That word is thrown around so much its lost any and all meaning. At least it has to me.


    Guess what? Grow a pair of balls and start acting like adults, not a bunch of robotic children who can't form real opinions, but rather only point and shriek at all the things they've been programmed to be 'offended' by.

    to say something or someone is "racist" is not saying "it or he or she would like to round up every Hispanic person and shoot them" or "it or he or she is just as bad at Hitler." But it reliably enrages at least one dumb commenter every time we suggest that a white person did or said or drew something racist.


    For real. I strongly believe that (some) people take such offense to allegations of racism (whether or not they're warranted) because it's either exactly what they were thinking, and they don't think of themselves as racist because they have friends of that blah blah blah...or they feel somehow robbed of the opportunity to express whatever comes naturally to them, and think of it as some sort of reverse-racism or political-correctness run a muck. And, hey, doesn't it really simplify the whole issue to just see racism as a scale with one side being "you" and the other being "Hitler".


    Those people are stupid.

    @✪TheMac: and it's always couched in, "if you weren't so sensitive, you'd have noticed..." or "the THINKING PERSON would read this as meaning..." and it's like, sorry dude, i think that if you have to do mental gymnastics to NOT read something as using racist caricatures or tropes then maybe you shouldn't assume that the person who created this thing was bright enough to figure out your convoluted excuse before he turned it in.

    Pareene,


    Your integrity (as far as journalism is concerned) is on par with the hysterics post-9/11. The idiots that enjoy your writing are likely sheltered, as they haven't been able to leave the abode after duct taping themselves into their shelters to avoid anthrax.


    If you're paid per page-view, I hope you can afford the extra thick cardboard tonight. It's chilly and rainy...a double whammy.


    Hope my eyes help with the shelter.


    Best,


    Fast Asleep

    @Pareene: My bad. I didn't know that working the "Politics" beat involved adhering to typical "throw shit at the wall and see if it sticks" rhetoric. I get it. It's your job. What sells is what sells.


    However, there's something to be said about what's happened to Gawker over the past few years. Elizabeth left Dealbreaker almost 3 years ago, and that site's kept its integrity, and beyond. Humorous stories mixed with objective information holds a tidy site. Denton, on the other hand, has basically thrown information to the wolves, while asking writers to nail those PVs. Unfortunately, the model has become a "throw headlines out there, and let the commentators carry the weight." I know Gawker pulls in much more revenue than dealbreaker, but you and I both know the content has become a joke (save Lawson's softball television re-caps).


    Combing drudge and throwing out some right-wing headline isn't journalism...it's hunting for retards to click your story. Grab your balls and break a story, or you'll continue to be the guy that should've taken Sheila's fall.


    It's sad when the most entertaining information on this site is spewed from one of Denton's deranged "commentator" drunk nights. Perhaps Nick should drink more often than not.

    @takeouteurotrash: okay you are actually claiming gawker has ever had integrity and hasn't always been about being incredibly, extremely obnoxious (and often poorly written) to get attention so i've decided you are being extremely hilarious. either that or you seriously should try looking at actual news sites, and not joke gossip blogs?
