Always with the basements, isn't it?

Andrew Marr, the former political editor of the BBC, and Nick Robinson, the current political editor of the BBC, have some things to say about bloggers. Apparently, unlike proper political journalists, bloggers drink too much, spend too much of their time obsessing over trivia late at night, and have restricted social circles which consist only of people like themselves, working themselves up over minor conflicts while ignoring really important issues. They're also in general facially ugly.

I think it was Georg Lichtenberg who noted that a book is like a mirror; when a monkey looks in, no wise man looks out.
