I second moimeme. Kurt's a great guy, and how can you snark all over a self-effacing visionary?

I like Kurt, his radio show, and Obama too.

It's okay though, we will totes protect your minority right to snark in our new Golden Kingdom for Optimistic Visonaries.

Denton, 2001: "The suits are taking over in Washington DC, too. Bill Clinton was eloquent, persuasive, notoriously tardy, disorganised, surrounded by an enthusiastic but inexperienced staff, best late at night, fuelled by pizza. And now in George W Bush, the revived managerial ideal: collaborative, a builder of teams, loyal and demanding, obsessive about punctuality."

Be sure to let us know how that worked out.

So to recap:

Gawker, 2003-7:
Kurt Andersen = muse, idol, subject of 15 flattering posts per week.

Gawker, 2008:
Kurt Andersen = "officially wasted his vast potential."

Huh.

No wonder he's backing Barry Obama. They obviously share that very special "vision thing."
