Mike Elk.

He is the comedy gift that keeps on giving even after all these years. The former lethargic Politico labor reporter (whom they probably wish they never heard of) first came to our attention back in 2015 when the then 28 year old Elk was complaining about an incredible work load he had to endure: “I can’t work the kind of hours I did when I was 24.”

I thought Elk only shook down Politico for $40,000 but according to his website he took them for $70,000. It looks like his plan worked: Go to Politico and barely do any work (NONE in the last 8 months). Then be so incredibly annoying that they will pay him big bucks just to be rid of him.

It reminds one of Chekhov’s “The Problem”

What is amusing is how Elk gets a labor group to *give* him money, in *cash* for “rent”. Then he gets drunk on their dime without telling them! Then he berates them for not giving him *more* cash!.

The epitome of ungrateful and “entitled”.

Wow.
