America’s Worst Blogger
By Who is America’s worst blogger?
Some parameters:
1. Partisanship cannot, in itself, be evidence of bad blogging.
2. The blogger must be “major” as in commonly read and referrred to.
The two names that leap to mind for me are Glenn Reynolds and Mickey Kaus. Reynolds, in fairness, plays an important role as the nervous system of the right side of the blogosphere. When pressed, he can also string a sentence together.
That leaves Mickey, who may be the most inept hack ever to commit words to a hard drive. It’s not just that any blogger worth naming could do more with the Slate spot; I think I could pick any student at random from any of my classes and still get more coherent commentary.
Thoughts? Other nominees?
UPDATE: FMguru comments on Kaus: “It’s like David Foster Wallace and Hunter S. Thompson had a love child – and then raised it on a steady diet of lead paint chips for 18 years.”
Funniest thing I’ve read all day.
UPDATE 2: Other nominees. . .
