Cogent political analysis it ain't. Maybe Gawker should stick with stuff they understand, like outing innocent stockbrokers and following celebrities around. I almost feel bad for Pareene. Almost.
Sure was. I was worried for a bit that their "LOL both sides are corrupt and politics is stupid" take would put off the Younglings from voting, until I saw how badly they got slaughtered in the comments section.
And it wasn't their usual enemies/trolls mocking them, it was, deservedly, the regular commenters who saw right through that bullshit. Between this and the fact that their basic content has not changed at all, looks like Rebecca needn't have worried — Gawker sucks at Tha Politics.

Seriously, that was embarrassing for them.

The truth. A couple more nights like last one and Gawker will be due for another Big Reorganization, I think.
