“reach-around now forever known as “The Kurtz” has been given to such journalistic luminaries as Fox News’ Brit Hume (who once claimed Democrats are “rooting” for a loss in Iraq)”

Hey, that reminds me!

How goes the campaign to get Brit Hume fired for that remark, Oliver? Where are we now, year 3 or year 4?

Any day now. Annnnnnnnnny day…

Then you missed his “interview” a couple of months ago when he fawned over Keith Olbermann.

Yes I did. So what? I guess Kurtz he’s a professional fawner (slurp, slurp, it’s only a wide stance) who thinks he can fool people into thinking he’s really a liberal at heart by fawning over Olbermann.

“…the reach-around now forever known as “The Kurtz”…”

Colorful, but inaccurate. A “reach-around” is a favor offered by a dominant participant. Howe’s a catcher.

The McCainstream media have these sessions to “prove they’re not a liberal” even though Dwight Eisenhower would be “far left” to the privatizer class like Rove

You are being kind. That’s not a slurp.

This joker has been playing this game for years. His show passes for serious discussion. I stopped watching years ago.
