65 Precious Minutes of Absolute Torture

The “Bloggingheads, 2010” conversation between Politico‘s Ben Smith and Slate‘s Dave Weigel on bloggingheads.TV is the awkward journalistic experience of late Tuesday afternoon and perhaps the year. They discuss 2010 and make predictions for covering the year ahead.

Is Weigel trying to be a weatherman? Dressed in a sloppy blue sweatshirt, he takes to the blogosphere airwaves and initially tries to make some sense of the New York snowstorm. Amidst a flurry of blinks, at approximately 4:43 Weigel has a bizarre water sipping moment where he misses on the first try and guzzles again.
