From driftglass:
Today, Mr. Kevin Williamson was Scaramuccied from The Atlantic for being, well, Kevin Williamson. Apparently, after hiring Mr. Williamson a little over a week ago week to a flurry of fifes and trumpets and condescending cavil from Jeffrey Goldberg about the importance of hearing from as many diverse voices wingnut scuttlefish as possible, Mr. Goldberg got around to, y’know, actually vetting his new hire to see if he was qualified for the job he had just been given.
In all my years and many jobs, I can say with perfect certainty that I have never been the beneficiary of a “Hire First/Ask Questions Later” personnel policy.
Obviously, I’m not greasing the right people.
