I can’t argue with Mike Allen topping Alex Pareene’s annual hack list but the actual article isn’t any more readable than Allen’s PLAYBOOK. Also, in reality, I can argue with Mr. Allen topping the list because any hack list that doesn’t have Richard Cohen in the top slot just isn’t taking its job seriously. It is literally impossible to be more of a worthless hack than Richard Cohen. But, at least you can read the Cohen entry without it feeling like you’ve dropped a bag of hammers on your head.
