Turning Public Embarassments Out To Pasture

[Ben_Hecht]

Well, their consistently lousy judgment won't be on display, anymore, at this particular venue:

Oh, I thought this was supposed to be a thread about how the Dems in the Senate are trying to get Robert Byrd out of his leadership position.

Even if I don't always agree with him, I don't have a problem with Krauthammer. Actually I like reading him. Kristol may as well change his name to Baghdad Bill for the GOP.

 

[Beaker]

Unfortunately, I'm sure reality will continue to elude both of them.

Krauthammer disturbs me physically. There is something about the way a suit sits on him that makes me think ventriloquist dummy. Other than that, I enjoyed his candor in the story. I like people like this. 'Asked if he would have preferred to stay with the magazine, Mr. Krauthammer, a Pulitzer Prize winner who writes a regular column for The Washington Post, suggested there wasn’t much of a choice. “It’s a hypothetical that didn’t arise,” he said.'

Are you aware he's confined to a wheelchair?

No. I had no idea!!! Jeez. I feel like the asshole of the century right now.

So the public embarrassment that is Time Magazine will no longer taint the reputations of the two men. Good for them.

Kristol disturbs me physically. Every time I see him on TV I want to smash the ****er in the face with frying pan.

It's that smug look on his face. Looks like the type of guy who would run away from a fight.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

I wouldn't wish CK's physical condition on anyone.

But there's no excuse for anyone to remain that mistaken, to the extent in question, for this length of time, in a public forum.

Experience can be a great teacher . . . but some folks don't learn, easy.

He looks a lot like the smart-ass kid in the school yard who always thought he was smarter than you. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Kristol.

No biggie. Hell, I didn't know that for years. You can't really tell when you see him on TV.

This is bizarre reasoning.

Because a certain portion of the population deems someone "incorrect," that should be enough to get him out of a magazine?

I'd say just don't read what he has to say. Can you please cite some liberal columnists who should suffer the same fate?

Wikipedia says it was a diving accident, although I thought I read somewhere that he had MS.

It also includes this odd bit (no idea if it's true or not):

From 1975-1978, Krauthammer was a Resident and then a Chief Resident in Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital. During this time he contracted syphillis from a colleague identified as Kurt McIntyre, noted for also identifying a form of mania (a part of bipolar disorder) which they named "secondary mania"[4]

I loved Charles K's line about the 43's progress against the axis of evil -- "It took Bush three years to find his general (as it did Lincoln) and turn a losing war into a winnable one."

I loved Charles K's line about the 43's progress against the axis of evil -- "It took Bush three years to find his ass with both hands."

Fixed.

Fenian doing quote-function fun?

Did the earth just shift?

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Did the earth move for you, too?
