Is "Howard Kurtz" a software program?
The letters thread is now closed.
  • Sadly, no

    Let me see if I understand: Howie Kurz consistently reveals himself to be a RightWingNut hack enabler whilst pretending to a sort of even handed non-partisianship in his WaPo OPINION column.

    Do I have you guys right? That's it? Your best shot?

    Then allow me to ask :

    What Is Your Effin Point?!

    Is it his hypocrisy that so ruffles your feathers? Off hand I can think of several dozen larger and at least as prominent targets, both recto and verso, heads and tails.

    Holy Hockeysticks this sort of thing is enshrined in American commercial law; it is called "puffery" and the practice is not patented by Kurz.

    Does "Fair and Balanced" strike a note?

    How about "Compassionate Conservative"?

    Is it that he is so transparent in his hypocrisy? Well, gee... ditto on the feathers.

    He writes OPINION. He advertises thatr he writes OPINION!

    To go on and on and on because you object to politics coloring his opinions is a bit like screaming at dust bunnies about their contraceptive practices.

    Do me, do us all a huge favor and cite Howie Kurz's objectivity pledge about his OPINION column.

    While we await our shaken martinis in hell isn't it vastly more interesting that it is his corporate overlords who are actually responsible for what you so object to? He only writes the words to the tunes they call. How has shifting control of the WaPo affected their Editorial and News policies? We all know that it is the man behind the curtains that really matter.

    But better, what of the breathless hypocrisy of HRC and Edwards? They actually strike me as being far more central to the current American debate and anal;ysis worthy by the progressives they hope to court.

    At least Kurz hasn't the gall to think himself worthy of the Oval Office.

  • A dream: Nick at Malkin's drinking dry-martini's

    A dream like that on a feverish night had me break into a terrible sweet...

    I dreamed we got invaded. America got overrun by legals from outer space. Heavenly aliens visited USA in saucers. The first demand was to ask their high school pals this: "Sweetheart, you want a 'doohickeys' on your neck?" Then take 'us' to M.M's to have those savory Mauling Martini's with some of Howard Kurtis's software. H.K's Brand Pita-Chips are fried in untestable Org. trans fats, approved by the AFT's OMB low-Cholesterol oils flown in with B-52's from Afghanistan's oil smugglers."

    A dream such as that makes me/you/A world want to move to Texamericana to have some Pesto and various Sundries of Sun-Chips at Bush's Ranch for Easter break? We can parrot, "Polly not want more war, Michelle, anymore!"

    Then, from heaven to purgatory to limbo HERE on terestrial Earth, and also for all the Middle East's Sane-Kurd's sake, we can eat sliced garlic. Share some cinnamon cookies with the Easter Bunny before he hops all over town? How 'bout that dream, Nick?

    Is there a non-neocon necromancer interpreter of bad dreams who will tell the naked meaning? thanks? The Easter bunny always is happy and says, 'Your welcome.' hush. People are still asleep. Let's wake up by natural means.

  • Well see...wait, what's your point, tip?

    Then allow me to ask :

    What Is Your Effin Point?!

    If there is one weakness of Greenwald, it's that he mistakenly assumes everyone reading is intellegent and rational. So for those who don't fit such elitist characterizations, let me break it down.

    He's saying that Howard Kurts sorta sucks. Hope that helps!

    Do me, do us all a huge favor and cite Howie Kurz's objectivity pledge about his OPINION column.

    Hey have you guys and gals ever had that lover that begs you for sex and then expects YOU to do all the work?

    There is some obvious evidence to despute this, But I'm going to be lazy and say that since your brought up this rather dubious point in the first place I'm going to put the burden on you to clarify and prove this not-that-belivable assertion because I'm going to need more then those bald-faced statements to buy what you're selling. You're going to need something more to convince me.

  • Apolgy to Juan Cole. I just read his Friday post.

    I realize it's not good Friday yet. I read at the trash dump yesterday this big remembrance: Closed on Good Friday. It's a bad Friday, imopine.

    On a morning of Good Friday when Booth shot Lincoln, Del Norcrosse took a stroll before the benefit and performance at a packed house...

    The American flags were raised. Was Walter Read around? General such as Robert E, Lee, Grant, and others talked about if the bloodletting would ever stop.?!. The D.C streets fluttered with anniversary celebratory glee. A patriotic event of 'devout neocons' got choice tickets and prized seating positions in the President's Theatre box-rows. A bunch of talk about Lee's Army surrendering, and how General Grant wanted to parade their captives in great humility fanfare via D.C streets to humiliate...

    Mr. Booth, the sad-actor, wanted, got jealous, (a trait that's worst than hate, someone said) and certain associates got prearranged secured tickets to the theatre, and other piglets got none... wee, wee, we wine and whine, do we?

    Do our ears ever deceive us in any age? The military banners, and top brass horn-bands, still play "Dixie." Some toot little Boo-Boo-Peep. The White-house allows much-hate to be broadcasted if it's the vile and bile that gets Votes is pulled over our eyes? O, e.i.e, i O. Does it sound like like a flock of 4-winged geese that are lost, soaring overheads....shouting, "Peace!" Don't go to Ford's Theatre even if the seat is free.

    After the Juan Cole read, and other's elsewhere in recent days....the 'ole time cowboy and savage-word Game-play is in motion once again in the 21st century. The Marine band plays and the neocon do the tap-dance march in a unison cadence. I believe the American and ally forces are being lulled to sleep in a 'Ole Time Ambush fashion' I do believe THAT (i hate to do caps) may be right. 'They' mess up Honest Abe's restful sleep. Stop killing. The heart of Hate is on the Right-wing-side of the congregation's dark-bock-bitter ale-side. Sober up. It's as Clear as an alarm bell at 5:30 am ringing in the world weary ears. Sirens. Thanks.
