It would be just wrong of us to head into the weekend without another EKG report from Englewood Cliffs, right? Live from an insider, new EIC Mark Pasetsky actually racks up some bonus points as blame is tossed at Bauer CEO Hubert Boehle. But not before he gets called a "lapdog." After the jump, another note from an ex-Bauer type — but not before we present you with this here photo: Pasetsky as Brad Pitt for Halloween. What, you're not feeling it either?

The staffers inside L&S are not exaggerating about Mark Pasetsky. He has 0 experience in any type of journalism and very few other skills other than rudimentary p.r. and sucking up to Hubert Boehle.

Two more things. He is such a lapdog I personally witnessed [Bauer CEO Hubert] Boehle summon Pasetsky by snapping his fingers to get him to hurry up. Just the way you train a dog.

But the real reason Pasetsky is now editor is that he will allow anything to be made up and put on the cover to sell the magazine whether it is true or not. Boehle does not appreciate journalists who object to made up stories, headlines and altered pictures or who worry about little things like checking facts.

Truly, Boehle is Bonnie Fuller's evil twin and I say evil because he is even meaner and more ruthless than she is in every way.

Which of course is why Bauer has such a terrible reputation.
