This is an absolute classic from Snotty Ingersoll:

"Borowitz is an asshole... I would love to run the ****er down. Typical
liberal piece of ****, hates America, but makes each and every penny he
earns on our backs. I hope somebody shoots the ****er, hopefully they
will take the rest of his gene pool with him too…"

Ingersoll wants to run over Borowitz, then he says he hopes someone
shoots him.

Jesus, can you imagine how Ingersol would react if the left had an Ann
Coulter or Laura Ingram? He'd be apoplectic. The right is filled
with vile, self-righteous asshole pundits who haven't a humor bone
among them.

I find Borowitz mildly amusing and sometimes funny. Sometimes he
misses the mark and I wish he'd have the presence of mind to pull the
piece back, knowing that it wasn't worth publishing.

Like all of these syndicated columnists, he is contractually obligated
to seen in something on schedule. They all can't be gems.

I agree there are cranks on both sides of the aisle and I bet most of
them could switch sides and write for the other camp if the money was
right.

I doubt it.

Borowitz would be a superstar in professional baseball...a .400 hitter.
He occasionally drives 'em right out of the park.
Look at the reaction he gets from simple-minded righties like Ingerfool,
who is *not* the audience Borowitz is trying to reach.
