I MADE THE HORSE AGAIN!
...and this time I figure rather prominently!
One of the best sites on the web, the incomparable MediaWhores Online (a watchdog site for the lazy, American corporate-dominated conservative-friendly media), has just returned from two months of vacation (those slackers!). To kick off the new year, they have opened up voting for 2002's Whore of the Year, with candidates ranging from Margaret Carlson and Bob Woodward to Tim Russert, Howard Fineman and Chris the Screamer Matthews.
One of the nominees was internet journalist and anti-welfare crusader Mickey Kaus, a fellow who has masqueraded as being "the worlds most sensible democrat", but has amounted to being a right-wing suckup, devoting most of his time to attacking the New York Times, in particular its editor Howell Raines, and its relentlessly honest columnist Paul Krugman. To make the case for nominating Kaus for such a dubious designation, MWO printed an email I sent them a couple of months ago, calling Kaus on the hypocracy of his attacks against MWO itself a few months prior that (in particular, Kaus' apparent change of heart of the rhetorical use of the word "whore").
Anyway, thanks Horse! (despite their prominent placement of my email on Kaus, I'm pretty sure my vote will go to either Russert or Woodward).
