Howard Fineman's End....

Howie rang up Imus today and fairly gushed forth a cataract of boilerplate buncombe. Quite frankly in his ponderous Great Man of the News mode, Fineman is every bit as boring as Laura Ingraham with a soporific mellifluous voice to boot.
He did get off one very telling howler though, back a few years ago Fineman was on a low-rated cable yakker called "Capital Gang Sunday Night" on CNN.
It was eventually cancelled due to low ratings an embarrassment that the Newsweek Solon explained as "It was the only gig I had..."
No, to be precise, it was the only TELEVISION gig he had at the time...see the difference?
It never occurs to this blatant hustling media whore that hiring out one's opinions to the highest bidder are a BAD thing for so called journalists to do.
That it creates an endless series of potentially interlocking conflicts of interest that are best resolved in the favor of the highest bidder more often or not.
What is it about the apex DC damage monkey pundits that they HAVE to get a steady TV gig by fair means or foul?
I mean who told them that fame-money-and-big time journalism all marched in lock step??
Sick
Demented
Typical...
