“Howie the Putz is practically begging for a job at Faux News.â€

I mean, c’mon. We laugh because we agree with him, but it’s about at the level of a 9-year old fighting with his 11-year old sister.

I have to agree with falcone.

Lileks is an idiot and a raving loon. I’d actually agree with him on a principle or two, but he tortures language and fact so severely in the process of taking a pitchfork and torch to his liberal monsters, that he’s just laughable.

The idea that Howie admires his writing, of all things, is just ludicrous. And telling: we have a journalist who knows not from writing.

Ailes’ “Whores Your Daddy?” was inspired, and his writing’s not necessarily bad (nor terribly good) overall, but falcone has it right: when Jane Hamsher doesn’t like a writer’s factually-based point of view, then that person is “just another bullshit artist.”

Ailes has Howie Kurtz dead to rights, factually — but he’s an easy target. Kurtz is thick as a brick, virtually if not literally senseless, but “Howie the Putz” is not good writing. It’s a cop-out to good writing.

Next we’ll hear that Matthew Cooper is a good journalist because he’s a nice guy.

Or any of half a dozen other dKos favorites. You won’t even need your dictionary.

Can’t have THAT in the warm fuzzy cocoon of D.C.

Sheeesh!!!!!

I have to agree with the commenter who most likely accurately deduced Howie prolly only sees blogs of the right. With a few exceptions (who become towers of neocon wisdom) the right write wrong – can’t spell, have no concept of grammar or logic.

I have to wonder what ones motivation would be for putting out such an obvioulsly false statement just on it’s face. But beyond that, doesn’t the statement cancel itself out just on a logical or realistic sense? What I mean is, how could or would anyone have taken the time to “pick out” one, two, or three from ,millions? That would be a numerically impossible undertaking due the the factual volume stated in that that word “millions”.

And if that is your cause, then who cares how “beautiful” the writing is? I do not read FDL, atrios, or any other highly-trafficked blog for Beauty. Surprise, surprise. I pick up literature for that.
