8. Whoever writes that has been pretty off the mark for years now.

The same column sneered that John McCain is "a Democrat in all but name."

When writing about actress Sophie Thompson, the columnist opined that she wasn't as pretty as her sister (actress Emma Thompson), and when readers complained about the sexism and snottiness of the comment, he huffed that women were judged by their looks in the movie business.

Yeah, and columnists are judged by their gratuitous nastiness.
