Yeah, I’m A Total Jerk

Posted on Comments

Sometimes — and this happens far too often — I offend people accidentally. Carelessness, thoughtlessness, recklessness. I’m a jerk.

When I wrote earlier about the Hot Air buyout, I didn’t mention my friend Bryan Preston, who was the original video producer for the site and left in 2008. The omission was because I figured Bryan’s departure was a sore spot best left unmentioned. But the omission, it turns out, was even more offensive.

So by an attempt to be tactful, I treated my friend like an Unperson, “The Fifth Beatle,” as it were. But unlike Stu Sutcliffe, Bryan Preston is alive and well and working as Director of Communications for the Republican Party of Texas.

  1. You can’t be that much of a jerk. A jerk wouldn’t set things right and it sounds like you had the best of intentions in the first place.
