3. Mr. Jealous is kind of a bonehead.

When he went on Bill Maher a few months ago, he wore a t-shirt with an ad for some website emblazoned across the front. It made him appear very amateurish -- as if he expected he'd never be on TV again so he had to desperately try to draw attention to this cause while he still had the limelight. Maher even ridiculed the shirt.

Then there was that black woman who was vilified by Faux news for her supposedly racist speech. Then it turned out to be a RW hoax. Too late. Mr. Jealous had already spoken out against her. Of course he wasn't alone. Obama had fired her already.

Still, that moronic t-shirt was what made me take note of Mr. Jealous. Very amateurish. And yes, that name is unfortunate. If I were him, I'd just change it to a different adjective. How about Benjamin Noble? Or Mr. Sogoodlookingithurts?
