By Sarah Posner

…e story of Rand Paul’s college hijinks in GQ, took to the pages of The New Republic (where Jonathan Chait started the handwringing in the first place) to denounce the ad as the “most despicable of the year.” If that’s the case, then Zengerle’s own reporting falls into the same category.
