Toby Young Nuzzles Hand That Once Bit And/Or Fed Him

Huh! Toby Young, writing on Gawker-and billed as a “friend” of Gawker. Who thought that day would ever come? The former New York Press columnist and current Top Chef judge filed his Emmys report for the august webzine… which was published on Tuesday afternoon. This tardy report, thoroughly amusing, revealed little. Maybe if Top Chef won an Emmy, he would rush the stage! Maybe if it didn’t, he would pull a Kanye! Neither happened. Most amusing: the sidebar of “related posts” on Gawker, in which Young is referred to as “vaguely annoying” and a “professional annoying person.” (Disclosure: I can’t even remember why I dislike Toby Young! He took some needless swipe once? He is probably a swell fellow, and God bless him for torturing Graydon Carter. (Although! Flashback! “One of the things that struck me about Toby Young’s book on his experience at Vanity Fair was that all the best lines were Graydon’s.”))
