Wolcott and Al Capone: Lost cousins?

These hoity toity Vanity Fair writers must use their own caricatures of themselves instead of a photograph? We know why. A caricature of a person does make him or her look slim and brings about his or her "best" and prominent features. Michelle Malkin makes a point about James Wolcott, a "professional" editorial writer in Vanity Fair, relishing his role on making fun of other people's physical appearances by picking on Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters blog. Angry in the Great White North takes a jab at James Wolcott's "professional" editorialized article on making fun of Ed Morrissey's of Captain's Quarters.

Now, far from it for me to say that there isn't any resemblance between Capone and Wolcott. But one thing for sure, I wouldn't want to hang around with Al Capone who had a penchant for a baseball bat on a human being's head. He's simply a disgusting figure. Simply.... creepy.

But hey, many of us bloggers would rather debate on the merits of an argument at hand rather than sling mud, call people names and generally be a creepy person to begin with. I guess James Wolcott doesn't fit the bill as a "professional" writer.
