New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has resigned to run for Governor of Oregon.
Spending 37 years as a "Made Man" as an NYT reporter and columnist qualifies him for literally nothing.
Of course, recent experience has showed that an overweening ego stoked by a prominent position in the media has not been a good indicator of performance in public service:
After 37 years at The New York Times as a reporter, a high-level editor and an opinion columnist, Nicholas Kristof is leaving the newspaper as he considers running for governor of Oregon, a top Times editor said in a note to the staff on Thursday.
Mr. Kristof, 62, has been on leave from The Times since June, when he told company executives that he was weighing a run for governor in the state where he grew up. On Tuesday, he filed to organize a candidate committee with Oregon’s secretary of state as a Democrat, signaling that his interest was serious.
It's bad news for the citizens of the great state of Oregon, but good news for New York Times readers.
H/t Atrios.

Consider the voters of Oregon.
Toxic Narcissism is a perfect match.
All he has to do is f%$# a teenager, and he could be the next Neil Goldschmidt.
And still be better than the party of traitors.
