Seriously. Yeah, we all have opinions, we all say “funny” things to our friends now and then, but a journalist is supposed to tell me the fucking news that happened today, and keep their opinions to themselves. If I want someone’s opinion, I’ll open the OP-ED page.
**MSNBC’s Bashir apologizes to young viewers ‘frightened’ by Krauthammer’s face
**
On national TV, this asshat makes fun of an actual Pulitzer Prize winning journalist because of the way he looks. Because he’s paralyzed. What a prize. Let’s hear what he says when someone calls him a Paki.
Martin Bashir has had a long career of reporting things in a sensational manner. The way he conducts himself I wonder if he tries to make his subjects not be taken seriously. I’m surprised he’s lasted this long. Who is paying him?!
Sounds like a very bad SNL skit (but I repeat myself).
I’ve seen Krauthammer on any number of political talk shows, and he’s living proof that the ability to walk has no bearing on doing that particular job. But he’s also living proof of the maxim that “by the age of forty, you have the face you deserve.”
I did find this one very enjoyable quote from him though:
“If we insist that public life be reserved for those whose personal history is pristine, we are not going to get paragons of virtue running our affairs. We will get the very rich, who contract out the messy things in life; the very dull, who have nothing to hide and nothing to show; and the very devious, expert at covering their tracks and ambitious enough to risk their discovery.”
I always jokingly wondered if he and Skip Bayless were related. So Krauthammer “received a medical degree from Harvard in 1975, completing his residency in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1984 he was certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.” What’s he doing commenting on politics, except that politics attracts a certain type?
