    Poor David Weigel.  All he wanted to do was vent.  But, it cost him his job as a Washington Post political blogger.

    The former Washington Post blogger resigned after someone made public his private emails, which contained some shit-talking about the conservative politicians on which he reported.

    These charming clips are always geared toward tweens and teens, which implies that adults are internet-savvy and mature enough to understand that everything they ever post online could come back to haunt them.  Guess Weigel missed that lesson in Blogging 101.
