It's official:

We can now confidently report that Howard Kurtz is a complete disgrace to his profession (whatever that happens to be). He makes light of Daschle's recent complaints that Rush Limbaugh -and others - encourage hostility towards politicians which sometimes leads to threats. Kurtz notes, among other things, that Limbaugh was on NBC with Brokaw and Russert - thus confirming that Rush is no crazy right-winger and is, in fact, pretty mainstream.

Kurts asks: Has the senator listened to Rush lately?

We ask: Has Kurtz listened to Rush lately?

Kurtz also says: Sure, he aggressively pokes fun at Democrats and lionizes Republicans, but mainly about policy.

Just a reminder, Rush once made sport of Daschle's small stature - with a focus on his small feet (Hint for morons like Kurtz: that's a code for a small penis.) And then referred to Nancy Pelosi as The Hummer (2^nd hint for morons like Kurtz: that's a code for fellatio where the person strongly stimulates the man's penis).

Hey Howie! Why don't you write about that in your column?

Kurtz has the street smarts of a six year old.

If you have the stomach for it, read his column here.

UPDATE:

We checked this New York Times article about Daschle/Limbaugh, and read the following quote by Rush on the flap: (our emphasis)

"It's not just against me, but it's against you folks, the entire audience. You all now are being characterized as unsophisticated barbarians. You don't know the difference between politics and entertainment."

Which we think speaks for itself.
