Well, I can't help but say that I'm a little disappointed. You don't expect a Republican pundit like Mr. Eisenstadt to make like Nixon in Vietnam and cut-and-run like that (Nixon=RINO), but that's evidently what he did.
I received an email from Dan Mirvish, alleged co-writer of I Am Martin Eisenstadt (with Eitan Gorlin) asking if he could make an officially sanctioned appearance here challenging the existentially dubious Martin Eisenstadt.
Well, no sooner had I proposed running a message-board policy debate over, "Resolved: Martin Eisenstadt exists," than Mr. Eisenstadt bailed out, leaving a puff of pundit smokescreen behind him.
However, in the interest of fairness and because we feel that Mr. Eisenstadt's departure has left people wanting more, we will be giving Mr. Mirvish equal time to state his case.
Please return next Tuesday, November 24, at 2:00pm EST to speak with Mr. Mirvish.
He'll be able to answer questions about creating political "experts," media complicity in exploitation and promotion of convenient untruths, his reception by the punditocracy, the process of writing political satire and maintaining a hoax. Though, obviously, he might enjoy tackling some topics over others, here is your chance to ask the sober political/media questions you might have felt went unanswered here.
