Iowahawk has managed to penetrate the Journolist, and found a copy of the latest chat session:
SPENCER ACKERMAN: did katha leave?
MATTHEW YGLESIAS: yeah
SPENCER ACKERMAN: shes a total bitch but she’s right… none of the hot media girls will hang out with us
EZRA KLEIN: i/k, but i don’t get it… i know i used to have kind of a complexion problem but it cleared up after i started using ProActiv
CHRIS HAYES: i/k a couple of us are a little chubby but were all pretty cute and it’s not like we wear gross clothes or anything
