Here’s a free hint, kid: don’t talk crap about someone being a shill for ideologically-driven publications and think tanks when that sums up your entire resume. Your bosses might find you ungrateful . . . or they may giggle over the fact you’re a malleable idiot utterly lacking in self-awareness.

    I must commend you for the restraint that you’ve shown re: Gabriel Sherman calling you a racist in his Palin cover story in New York Magazine.

    I just hope you’re not growing soft in old age.
