Loathed but not feared

Nothing fancy to say about This nitwit.

"Fear and Loathing in the Press Room" is the title of Gannon's first post on the blog he puked up after being exposed as a huckster jackoff. (Frank Rich wrote a little about this today...if you read this blog with any frequency whatsoever, you'll notice I like his column)

Gannon pits himself against a mainstream press that is increasinly wimpy and drifting, but he himself is a pussywhipped shill for the right; if he seeks to align himself with the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson's work, he's got a long way to go. He reminds me a little bit of the Northwestern Chronicle, a weekly labeled by its editors as an "alternative" paper but packed with redundant and vapid bullshit that hardly ever seems to go anywhere. Luckily, the public, even on college campuses, is not easily provoked, either by intelligent arguments or ridiculous ones. People like Gannon will only stir up people who are pathological, dumb and petty enough to dig him in the first place...and even some of those have active enough minds that they'll snap out of it eventually.
