Charles Sumner

Charles Sumner is an aspiring media critic and blogger-- and already a succesful comedian. "I want to be the next Besty Rothstein," he explains, "but without all the lawsuits!"

One of Washington’s most enduring mysteries deepened when Politico reported that former FishbowlDC editor Betsy Rothstein would join The Daily Caller as a blogger. The news interrupted a week of schadenfreude on the part of Betsy Rothstein’s detractors, who had exulted in the abrupt end of her tenure at the media gossip site FishbowlDC—we are asked to believe it was a resignation—after a local publicist sued Rothstein for libel and Rothstein admitted guilt, only to be followed when Rothstein blogged a racist joke, followed that quick by then another racist Betsy Rothstein blog post.

Along the way, the subject of conversation among the world’s Rothstein obsessives had evolved from “How is Betsy Rothstein still employed?” to “Who would hire Betsy Rothstein after everything she’s done?” After all, she wrote four posts about the size of a video host’s breasts.
