Cohen the whore

I don't know why I write these. Well, actually I do. These pundits just piss me off so much! Particularly ones like Richard Cohen, the Alan Colmes of the Washington Post editorial page.

Hmm. My original post was apparently rejected by the Post's censorware because I originally called Cohen a jackass. So I re-wrote it:


Now I remember why I stopped reading Richard Cohen. He's a joke. Well, originally I used quite a different (and longer) word, but the Post seems to have auto-rejected my original post for that word.

"No crime committed"? Pure GOP BS, quite thoroughly disproved by testimony under oath before Congress by Ms. Plame's superiors. Are you a liar, Mr. Cohen, or just utterly unqualified for your job?

Equally bankrupt is the argument that the Fifth can be invoked to preclude even appearing at a hearing, and that it is legitimate to use it because questioners might be meanies.

Mr. Cohen, bare-faced lying might be the fashion on the Washington Post editorial page. But I assure you that your readers know better.

Sir, your slip is showing.

If you're aspiring to be the Alan Colmes of the Washington Post, mission accomplished. The sad thing is that you probably consider that a compliment. In your mind, Colmes is probably an effective and honorable representative of the centrist-Democratic position, rather than the professional punching bag and sick joke that he actually is.

I hope that you come to realize just how contemptible your kowtowing to Republican talking points is, and that the vast majority of readers can see right through your sleazy little act.



Hmm. I don't believe that anyone here finds this sort of post interesting. Sorry about that. To make the post slightly more interesting, I've used my new Mii icon. Unfortunately it's from a photo of the TV screen, so the resolution sucks. Oh well.

A follow-up comment that I made:

99 percent or more of commenters have seen right through Mr. Cohen's lies, but unfortunately that won't stop him from continuing to blather on, endlessly parroting Republican talking points. So instead, I suggest NOT READING HIM. If nobody clicks on his idiotic drivel, even the owners of the Post will eventually notice and dump him. True, they'll probably get a replacement that's as bad or worse, but one thing at a time. BOYCOTT RICHARD COHEN!

Actually, I find these posts (and really most everything you write) quite interesting, even though I don't have nearly the time I'd like to comment on them.

Just so you know... you're really not shouting into the vacuum even if it feels like it sometimes.

Thanks, that's good to know!

I've added you if you don't mind. I read your toolbox post in [livejournal.com profile] ljdemocrats. I think we share the same pov.

Glad to have you; I've added you back. I took a look at your journal, and we do share a similar viewpoint on a number of issues.
