My letter to kurtz

I was so steamed by the lead on his "coverage" of Rather's "apology" that I actually sent him an email (I rarely do this with the more whorish presstitutes, because I know it won't do any good. They'll just laugh and be pleased they got under my skin. But...)

STOP LYING!

"CBS News today apologized for the "60 Minutes" story charging that President Bush had received favorable treatment in the Texas Air National Guard"

CBS News did no such thing. It apologized for using *unauthenticated documents* IN the story, to support the contention that "pResident Bush had received favorable treatment...". The charges of favorable treatment were ALSO supported by their interview with Ben Barnes, and were NOT disputed or otherwise challenged and were CERTAINLY not "apologized" for.

3. I am SO over Howie "Sanctimonious" Kurtz

I used to be a regular viewer of "Reliable Sources," but no more. It's all Howie, and the only female guests who get to string more than two words together are Repugs.

Yecch.

4. Howie's wife is a Repug spokeswhore

Howie's a good, obedient boy.

Here's some of the wife's work:

Candidate Chutzpah
The rise of the Jewish bluebloods.

By Sheri Annis

Jews make up two percent of the American population. At the moment, though, they make up more than 33 percent of the Democratic presidential candidates. Toss General Wesley Clark into the mix and the figure tops 42 percent. Who knew?

The Irish-sounding John Kerry was always quite Catholic, or so we thought. Even though the Massachusetts senator learned of his Jewish roots some 15 years ago, he only got around to trumpeting the news the other day that he's more Jewish than he thought. First it was just a Jewish grandmother; now he's discovered a Jewish grandfather as well. Suddenly, on the campaign trail in Florida, he could hardly talk about anything else.

Clark, the former NATO commander who is flirting with a presidential run, discovered his Jewish roots more than 20 years ago. But only in recent weeks did he reveal that he is descended from "generations of rabbis."

Perhaps they are following in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton, a lifelong Methodist who chose an opportune moment — when she was running for the Senate in New York — to let slip that she had a Jewish step-grandfather and that her mother's half-sister converted to Judaism. And Madeleine Albright, you may recall, discovered her Jewishness — with a little help from a nosy reporter — just months after her appointment as Secretary of State.
