The Googey Moogey Man
"Fuck kids in their 20s, particularly in Bushwick or Williamsburg or wherever."
Yeah you're so much better than them because you're 31 and live in Carroll Gardens and work at Gawker. Fuck you dude. This article is a piece of shit and Gawker sucks. I wish my coworkers would stop sending me links to your horrible website.
The Historical Comedy Genre
What the hell is the point of this story? To solicit some cheap laughs from multiple tragedies in the Kennedy family by positing some false equivalency with the personnel of a mediocre rock band, like you're some kind of hipster open-mike night stand-up comic testing new material? Shame on you. Grow up.

From Carol, With Pity
From: Carol
To: A.J.
Subject: who caresGlad she got the interview.Good for her.She's terrific.Who cares about her sexual orientation.Sour grapes on the part of the other commentators.
From: A.J.
To: CarolShe cared. That's the point of the story.—
From: Carol
To: A.J.The point of the story was to cause her trouble and create "hot news" so stupid and unnecessary.WHO CARES.If she cares RESPECT THAT.Carol Post
From: Carol
To: A.J.So,she cares.It is HER private life not your mission to embarrass her.Carol
From: Carol
To: A.J.You are to be pitied.You won't last in your job.The American public will tire of your comments hopefully sooner than later.Sitting on a toliet.Are you an idiot??????
From: A.J.
To: CarolI'm sure she's the furthest thing from embarrassed. She just had one of the most sought after interviews with the POTUS and was well aware this would come up. Other people's embarrassment and hers are not one in the same.
She knows she's gay. She's open about it. The fact that it would "out" her is more secondary but nevertheless newsworthy considering the major news that came out of her interview.
