Everyone knows that comments sections are bad.
Everyone also knows thatthe New York Timescomment section can be incredibly, incredibly good.
On Thursday, nerds on Twitter had a much-needed RT after a screenshot from the Times' comments section went viral. It appears that someone might have been composing a comment using Autospeak and forgotten to turn it off.

"Zero optimism that the Democrats can ever regain hello hi oh you're there are you outside oh well let me come to the door I'm icing my knee and I'm hard boiling some eggs I'll turn them off and then will do our meeting yet out that that will be fine I'm Normans out doing some errands and he knows you're coming so he'll just go down to the cave i was down in the Cape myself this morning by getting so let me get up because I'm right now sort of trapped in my chair and I'll put the ice pack back on when you get here OK thanks bye-bye."

The comment was posted under the article, "As the GOP Bends Towards Trump, Critics Either Give In or Give Up."
Christine McM later explained the error:
"This was a mistake I'll need to report to the NYT. I was composing a message using the autospeak, and a friend arrived early to my house. I had no idea all that drivel was being recorded--there are even errors in the drivel! And then to be a pick, with about 15 emails announcing such, meant that my email went rogue.
Yes, folks, I guess I do sound like Sarah Palin here!"
It's entirely possible that Christine McM is gently pranking us all, but that's fundamentally irrelevant: this a very good comment, and far more coherent than the majority of quotes in this article.
Christine McM has already made it to The New York Times several times for her sparkling commentary.
We are 100% optimistic about her commenting career and Cassie do you know if the Uber has arrived yet I need at least ten more minutes ok great that'll give me time to pack the lunches do you want turkey or sure no problem I hate mayo too and bye
