The bottom feeders at Gawker are going under. Arrivederci, a- -holes!
News of the slime Web site’s bankruptcy filing is schadenfreude-licious for those of us who, like wrestler Hulk Hogan and Silicon Valley financier Peter Thiel, were victimized by these Internet thugs but didn’t have the resources to fight back in court.
Gawker founder Nick Denton basked in the glow of the blogerati for years while cashing in on Internet trash. Now he’s rattling a tin cup. Karma’s a beautiful bitch.
Here’s something you may not know or remember. Dirty Denton didn’t just target celebrities with sex tapes. His lying, thieving, defaming Web empire had a special animus against conservative females.
As I noted in March in Conservative Review after Hogan won his Florida jury trial:
As with O’Donnell and Palin, it was an attempt to humiliate, degrade and punish me because of my gender and political ideology.
The image was a ridiculous Photoshop of a picture filched by an anonymous creep who stole it from the Flickr site of then-Ohio University student Ashley Herzog.
Both Ashley and I wrote the Wonkette and Gawker editors informing them of how her photos had been manipulated and requesting that they tell their readers what actually happened. Denton’s editors mocked us and then fecklessly claimed it was a joke all along.
Guess who gets the last laugh now? L-O-gawkin’ L.
