Nico Pitney is definitely on fellow journalist Brian Fitzpatrick's shit list!

Pitney, the Huffington Post editor who chatted with us a few months back, earned Fitzpatrick's rage this week after writing about potential vice-president Sarah Palin's "controversial" religious views.

And it's that very word - "controversial" - that Fitzpatrick seizes upon, insisting that "pro-gay" Pitney's simply trying to hash up some scandal of his own and push a nefarious agenda.

Hilary Rosen may very well be Wonder Woman.

The New Jersey-born activist acted as the Recording Industry Association of America's chairman for five years, acted lesbian social networking site Ourchart's president, served as Human Rights Campaign's interim executive director back in 2004 and currently serves as Huffington Post's political director, a gig she accepted earlier this year.

With all that experience under her belt, you can be sure Rosen, who previously endorsed Hillary Clinton's campaign, has scads to say about the current electoral climate, including the increasingly "blurred" lines between press and politics, her feelings on Clinton's departure, sexism in the press and how the lived experience shapes one's political views. And, thankfully, Rosen shared her thoughts - and many more - with our trusty editor.

Before getting into all of that, however, the duo start things off at the "beginning" of Rosen's queer career: her coming out. Read all about it, after the jump…

Death and carnage are sooo inspiring!

Huffington Post journo and Queerty chum Nico Pitney made this nightmarish mosaic of John McCain and George W. Bush using faces of the 4,000 U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq. Writes Pitney: "In remembrance of the 4,000 brave men and women who sacrificed everything for us — and the two men who would continue this great tragedy, despite the cost to our soldiers, our military, and our nation."

He also notes that he couldn't obtain photos of all the soldiers, so he did have to use some duplicates. Regardless, it's a pretty disturbing piece.

Nico Pitney's more than a pretty face.

The Tokyo-born, California-bred 26 year old currently works as Huffington Post's National Editor, but traces his occupational origins to more activist endeavors at the Center for American Progress.

Editor Andrew recently sat down with Pitney to discuss the intersection of journalism and activism, the state of the conservative movement and how there's no such thing as objective reporting.
