Face of the New Media. His name is Jazz Shaw.

I’d like to be going to bed now, but I’m so mad I can’t. The Hotair website is like Paris, a place instantaneously and completely abandoned in August, left to a partially deranged half writer who derives his credentials from the fact that he’s as obsessed with NFL football as the putative site daddy, a Pittsburgh Steelers lunatic from Minnesota named Ed Morrissey.

Sick of it. Sorry. Sick of all the half and quarter writers who actually make Allahpundit look good. Where did this new guy Noah Rothman come from? He actually began a post with a fifty word sentence fragment last week. He can’t construct a logical sentence. But he’s New Media. Mary Katherine Hamm has sentence diagramming and usage problems, although thankfully the last female Hotair writer (Erica something?) has already resigned to assume a much more important position in the Republican hierarchy. I’m sure she’ll muddy the message fabulously going forward.

Still. Everybody on staff in righty American blogs is speeding to the Hamptons for their summertime vacation. (I hear Erick Erickson is going to have a spread as monumental as his waistcoat.) Which means it’s all up to the Ted Baxter types who are left, meaning, ta da, Jazz Shaw. Who has the following posts in a row at Hotair.

Hall of Fame Football.

Slow March to Gun Control.

Ellison’s Vote against Iron Dome.

Rand Paul Busts a Rhyme.

U.S. Spy Plane Evades Russians.

Russia about to Invade Ukraine?

All of which display generic conservative/RINO semi-professional writing with occasional syntactic and grammatical lapses, perhaps better than barely literate Breitbart bigwig John Nolte, but enough to satisfy the comparatively smarter Hotair faithful — until this:

Scarborough Chides the Simple Minded on Israel.

The Hotair faithful suddenly discovered that Jazz was not really Jazz but Old Ragtime, an archaic relic with a big hat and a Teutonic mustache. I wrote him this email about his Scarborough defense:

Brave but obtuse. Joan Rivers was more on point. If NJ was firing missiles at NY, tunneling into NY, NY would retaliate.

I know you media veterans form personal friendships. In the old days (love your mustache) understandable. Now it’s important to see blind ambition for what it is. Scarborough is a latent accomplice in the annihilation of Israel. Sad you can’t see it. Sometimes you make sense.

Go see IP.rflaird.com and Instapunk.com for a period spanning more than ten years. Don’t know any of you guys. How I can be honest.

Robert Laird

To which he has not responded. Don’t expect him to. The august of the new right wing media never respond. They’re the august, don’t you know?

I’m NOT Jazz. I’m the punk who’d tear Jazz and various Joe’s a new asshole.
