Wash Post op-ed says send money to Republicans (Krauthammer column)

[Eric J in MN]

Charles Krauthammer's column on Friday starts off by calling Howard Dean delusional for saying that the White House may have been warned that some sort of attack was likely before 9/11, and for making a joke that Fox should be broken up. It ends by telling individuals to send $2,000 to the Republican Natl Commitee, and couples to send $4,000.

The column is supposed to be funny, but it would take a pretty slimy mindset to actually find it funny.

1. Whenever I hear stuff like this, it makes me send money to Dems

The Post got hung out to dry by its readers for the Lynch story. I'll write.

3. The dangers of political prostitution.

Krauthammer is an out-and-out full on GOP WHORE.

I found the doublespeak of this article as insulting and demeaning as anything I've ever read. Accusing me of having a "comprimised intellectual immune system" because I have the nerve to question *'s policies.

:mad:

Krauthammer and the GOP whores have succumbed to an epidemic of intellectual AIDS.

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be enough neocondoms to prevent the infection from spreading among the general public.

4. I agree. Dean made a joke after

I agree. Dean made a joke after Chris Matthews raised the subject of Fox.

Krauthammer twists that into proof that Dean is full of obsessive rage against Fox.

5. Poor Krauthammer. He thinks it's his job to stop Dean!

And there's nothing he can do--not even lying is going to help at this point.

And the Kraut

didn't even have to pay for that campaign ad.
