Yes, they actually use the phrase "Mean Girls"
Top ABC News Producer Leaving Network To Become High School Guidance Counselor! Isn't that nice? Cue a dogpile from everyone who has ever worked at ABC in the comment section. Jabba the Hutt is invoked at least twice; Snacky's Law is generally broken about every other comment, but given Mimi Gurbst's new job, that's not unreasonable, I guess. Oh, and also, the guy who wrote the story is bad and he should feel bad.
This is like when a country's embassy offers a condolence book for people to sign after a major disaster. Thank you, Mr. Gilette. You have provided a place for current and former ABC Newsers to congregate and give their best to Ms. Gurbst.
This article is an unusually atrocious example of spoonfed journalism and the writer should feel great shame--but that is another story.
The 'writer' of this article should be sent back to Highlights magazine where he belongs. How could he miss so entirely what was known to every employee of ABC News. Indeed, this syrupy eulogy is the ultimate insult to the countless hard-working journalists who were tortured by this woman. How ironic that she seeks to head back to high school to counsel youngsters! God help them!
Mimi and her clique of chosen ones at ABC News were dubbed the “Mean Girls.” To be a part of the group you had to be at least 3 of the following: white/good-looking/rich/pedigree/Ivy(or fancy boarding school) or date/marry/be associated with people who fit that bill.
Officially calling out Drudge and Deadspin. How much is ABC News paying you? What are they promising you to not link to this? There is NO way that you aren't picking this up. You went after silly ESPN executives for having an affair. This has the weight to be an article in the press. You will not find a person in the media who will go on record to defend Mimi because everyone connected with her knows the truth. This is almost too funny. But seriously - if this doesn't end up on Deapspin I will consider them traitors.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Mimi wielded the sharpest of daggers during her long career but she backed the wrong side in the "anchor wars" of 2005-2010...and now (like Thomas Cromwell) she too must climb the scaffold.
Probably the best one:
Given the comment from Disgusted I will start my comment by saying I am neither bitter nor affected in any way by the recent events at ABC News. I sat at a desk outside Mimi's office for three years. The joke in year 1 was that I had a huge bottle of listerine on my desk for folks to gargle with after they were forced to lick mimi's ass for career safety. Year 2 I added a fake vile that said "Tetnus". Year 3 I wanted to add gasoline and matches for people to burn their clothes upon exit, but I didn't want anyone to get scared.
