We really, really don't blame you
To add insult to the whole insulting premise, they're charging 12 bucks for this fiasco (though it could be worse: despite Choire's scurrilous charge, the word "merits" appears nowhere in our mandate).
And yet, I find it hard to take seriously the charge self-aggrandizement from anyone with the title Editorial Director. I, for one, welcome our new busty overlords.
Update: Is Jessica Gawker (formerly Foxy Jess, obvs) as cute as they say? I've got the exclusive pix.
OK, for all I know lots of people have photos of Jessica Coen. Maybe even these exact ones. But I ferretted them out using a little known site called Google, confirmed to my satisfaction that it's the same Jessica Coen. And now I'm gonna post 'em. Close enough for blogging.
Tell you one thing, I sure hope this is her. It took several gin gimlets to make Sicha look half this attractive in my eyes.

So Gawker calls you out for being self-aggrandizing and then you name/drop flirt with him for three paragraphs. Lame.

But that's the point, isn't it? Calling a blogger self-aggrandizing is just plain redundant.

Oh come off it--the showoffy posts to Okrent, Wonkette, and the rest, I'll give you credit for making a place for your self even though you came so late to the party...

Saw you speak last night - mostly because Campaign desk is an invaluable site. Was very impressed, will definitely be visiting your site in the future...

Why is everyone named "Anon" such an asshole? I guess it's an unlucky thing to name your child.
