Woe Unto You Who Wearest The Fedora
According to Radar, disgraced former Page Sixer Jared Paul Stern has been hired by BlackBook as books editor. EIC Steve Garbarino rationalizes it for you:
It's purely functional: He has the connections and knows my tastes. So far, the publishing world doesn't seem to really care, and he has a lot of alliances with respectable novelists and journalists I'll be working with. He's not writing gossip, after all. Plus, I had to ask myself, 'What would Jesus do?'
Well, it's a good question. The Jesus who, preaching against following the scribes, said, "All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces..."?
He probably would have started him off on the website.
