You're misunderstanding my point and then ccing my editors. This is becoming ridiculous. Have a good day. (Wonkette)

Heh. Good one, Patricia Guadalupe. In any professional environment, I don't think there's a bigger dick move than just out of the blue, CCing someone's supervisors on an email. But God knows, there isn't a more satisfying one, either. I've done it myself when dealing with a frustrating individual, and it feels awesome.

And Guadalupe was totally right to do so. Hearn demanding attribution like some sort of amateur, and then whining when called on it, makes the whole organization look retarded.

Two more Politico-related things:

1) I still really, really want an explanation as to why the print edition has a price tag of $3.50 when it's a FUCKING FREE NEWSPAPER.

2) Can someone there please fix the box that says, "For the most up to date information, visit us at www.politico.com, the top news destination for the nations political elite"? It should obviously be nation's.

You would think that being the primary advertisement for The Politico that appears all over the paper, someone would have caught the mistake before the first issue ever went to press, let alone, been published for two weeks. Guess not.
