It's sorta crazy how this appears to be the most-commented-upon Valleywag post of all time.

I think Nick D. should go as Morrissey next Halloween. I'm just sayin'. It's a compliment.

After Nick Douglas was demoted to special corespondent (with extra emphasis on "special"), Denton took over for a while, before he, interestingly enough, found someone with print experience.

Maybe he wants to make sure he finds the right person for the job.

Valleywag was much better when Nick was running it, so this is a good move (I mean Denton, but heck it was better in Mach I with Douglas too).

@Mr. Hippity: Does this mean I can write slash fanfic about you and Lance Bass?

...or does it mean I already did? *eep*

If you look at Gawker right now it appears that Denton has changed his name to "Open."

It’s said that when Dick Cheney was tasked with vetting potential Veeps for the Bush campaign, he carefully considered all the applicants before recommending the best man for the job: himself.

@Pope John Peeps II: I know you mean this affectionately, Peeps. Like I do my criticism-- which was borne of love for that site.

May it return to its glorious übermenschliches state under Denton.

This is good news. The best piece on Gawker during the last few weeks was that letter (which he allegedly wrote). And the "bourbon drip" line was priceless.

What does it mean that this was announced on Valleywag and not on Gawker itself? Perhaps Denton doesn't know yet?

Ta ha. We're all going to be executed! No more comments. Or maybe just no more comments from the hoi polloi? Comments by publishing executives, joe klein, and maybe the backstreet boys?
