1. Other: It doesn't violate DU rules, but it's amateurish.

It's silly, it's inflammatory, it's poorly sourced, and nobody really cares.

2. I was trying to figure out why I would need an 'Other' choice.

Thanks!

Here's the guy's background, by the way:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ames

After college, Ames "lived in poverty and spitefulness" ("жил в бедности и злобе," according to his publisher's biographical sketch) in New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Prague, and played in a short-lived punk band. (<2>) He also lived with a Czech girlfriend in a suburban California nursing home. In the eXile book he recalls this period of his life as a dull one:
"The Bush years marked my decline, the Fall of my empire of dreams. When Bush and his golfing buddies got tossed out in '92, I started thinking, hey, Bush and I have a lot in common. Except in one small respect: Bush was a filthy-rich historical figure, whereas I was an unemployed, barely-published, aging zero."
It was during this time that Ames began his gradual migration from California to Moscow. In August 1991 he visited Europe, sojourning for two weeks in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad). "That 14-day Homeric adventure on the streets of Leningrad really made an impression," Ames wrote; and though he returned to the United States to live in Foster City, California, he continued thinking of Russia, and delved into Russian literature. At this time Ames also suffered from a painful case of scabies (possibly contracted through a sexual encounter in Russia), whose severity allegedly merited a case-study mention in the New England Journal of Medicine (<3>). After spending mid '92 to early '93 in Prague, Ames moved to Moscow. In 1995 he published The Rise and Fall of Moscow's Expat "Royalty" in the English-language Moscow newspaper The Moscow Times, and was shortly thereafter hired by its competitor Living Here. In 1997 he left to establish the eXile, where he remains as writer and editor.
In June 2008, Russian authorities cracked down on the eXile, the site www.theexile.ru was closed down, and Ames was forced to flee the country for Panama, where he continues to edit the the eXile as the exiledonline. Writing about the Georgian crisis in September 2008, Ames wrote:
"I’d hate to be Georgia right now. So many American pundits have plans for the Georgians, brilliant schemes designed to get Georgia into a big war with the Russians. “Here’s what you oughta do….” It’s like listening in on bar talk—some drunk trying to talk a 98-pound weakling into a rematch with the hulking thug who just put him on the floor. Funny thing, they never want to prove their theory themselves."

5. Pretty funny (and educational), but I'd say no.

Probably best not to mock Cindy McCain's drug addiction.
