I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought "sitzpinkler!" upon seeing this dweeb's photo.
Can't you just picture the dweeb at a NYC cocktail party brown-nosing his hero Pinch Sulzberger, sipping Chardonnay, pinky extended, and smirking over the outraged rednecks he pissed off?
It is no wonder he received hate mail. Not that I condone it, but the doofus reporter put peoples' lives at risk.
