Thanks for the tip on sfluxe - haven't seen it before, quite decadent.
Check out photo of the Gettys (Peter and parents) with Obama at the fundraiser at the Getty's mansion:

And they won't even let you leave a comment on the blog further exhibiting the fact that they are above-it-all. Sniff.

BREAKING: Read the blog to yourself in Chuck Bass voice. If you do, it becomes completely, completely hilarious. In fact, read all of the Gate that way! Once you start, you will never want to stop.

beautiful. I'm betting that this will teach everyone at the Chron mothership a thing or two about the blogospheroverse.

I love that the photo has "PROOF" written across it. And is it just my imagination, or are the words "that we are a family of dicks" written beneath it?

Sorry to punch a hole in one of the (seemingly) more plausible reasons to despise us that have brought such joy to so many, but I'm afraid it is not, repeat NOT, true that we asked that comments on our blog be disabled. The truth, disappointingly, is that someone at sfgate recommended to Billy that comments not appear, and he, being entirely unacquainted with blogging, accepted this advice without consulting me. I was horrified to learn of it, which I only did when the blog first appeared, and we immediately corrected it. Our posts will from now on be open to comments, and I'm sure you'll treat them with the fairness and understanding that we've come to expect. It was an error made by a novice given some very bad advice, not proof of our decadence and your moral superiority to us. Sorry.
