Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is 'Big Media Matt.'
    He is infamous for his poor spelling in his blog posts.
    Many conservative columnists scorn him for snarking the radical right.
    However, he voted for Mitt Romney when he ran for governor of Massachusetts.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is of Cuban, Spanish, Polish, and Jewish descent.
    He graduated with a magna cum lade from Harvard.
    He served as a featured columnist for 'The New York Times ' and 'Atlantic Monthly.'
    Fellow columnist Andrew Sullivan takes nominations on his blog for the Yglesias Award, a tongue-in-cheek honor 'for writers, politicians, columnists or pundits who actually criticize their own side, make enemies among political allies, and generally risk something for the sake of saying what they believe.'
