Nate Silver Antagonizes, Gets Yelled At By, Major Asshole
 


Nate Silver is finding new and interesting ways to continue his relevance after the election polls have become a thing of the past (for the next two years, anyway).

Silver's website, FiveThirtyEight is now going a different tactic than just analyzing poll data: he's gone straight for the inflammatory interview.

After conservative troll and documentary filmmaker John Ziegler found out that Silver was calling his anti-Obama questionnaires "push polls," the owner of HowObamaGotElected.com offered to grant Silver an interview, on the one condition that the whole transcript would be posted on FiveThirtyEight. Silver complied, and the results are hi-larious, as Ziegler starts out trying to bait Silver into a fight, and ended up blowing his wad with a heap of profanity.

Let's take a looksy, shall we?

NS: Would you consider yourself well-informed
JZ: I’d consider myself extremely well-informed.

NS: Who are the two senators from South Dakota
JZ: Thune and, uh, Johnson.

NS: Very good. South Carolina?
JZ: Go fuck yourself. I'm done with this interview if you're going to ask me stupid questions like that. Obviously I know who Lindsay Graham is.

NS: Well, since you’re running a website calling people misinformed, I’d like to see if — there are certain things you’ve said that I would consider misinformed.
JZ: Misinformed? You're a piece of work! You are never going to have the guts to post a representative transcript on your website! I thought you actually ran a legitimate website!

NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.
