    I entirely agree.

    a cushy sinecure

    I don't think so. I know he's a lawyer. He must have some job where if he doesn't use swear words, he isn't vile, he isn't directly hateful - he can punch left on Twitter to his heart's content. He's snarky and sarcastic when he punches left which is not the way to punch if you want a cushy dem gig. Instead you retweet and if you actually tweet/punch yourself - you phrase things so there's enough vagueness and complexity you can say people misunderstand you and/or misquoted you. Nate Silver is a master of that.
