Fang--or is it David Carey? Cmon, man. The very notion of long-form business journalism is an oxymoron. This was a bad idea from day one, and no one up there (except Impoco) had an inkling. It was all--Vanity Fair meets Fortune. But really, dears, what did you expect from the maker of the WSJ's Personal Journal section, where the cutting edge concept was daddy's wine cellar and new aerobeds?

Folks: contrary to the conventional wisdom, the WSJ's editorial (not the editorial pages) has been asleep for a long long time--and The Lip was responsible for some of the most retardataire moves there. Hiring her for this gig is like hiring Peter Beinart to run Vanity Fair. Well, bad analogy, but you get the picture...
