Howard Fineman on Imus today:

What is it about Bill Clinton's sex life that so enrages Don Imus?
He comes out of an industry not know for it's moral standards...and Imus himself is working on his own second marriage to an upper west side freeper gold digger...but the mere mention of Monica Lewinsky sets the guy off like a rabid terrier.
It is enough to warrant calling the Manhattan Animal Control Officer...or it would be if Imus wasn't a toothless senile old hack on the brink of a life altering stroke.
The release of Bill Clinton's memoirs has prompted Imus to drag onto the air one after another virtually every single Clinton hater in his vast repertory of news media guests...today it was Howard Fineman.
One thing I like about Howie, he is a triple threat...a whore for publicity, a whore for public approval, and most of all a whore for the RNC. To listen to him today is to think it is the summer of 1998 again...and everything revolves around blow jobs and lying. History stands still for the apex media whores when Bill Clinton's manhood is under discussion...all their old rage and hate comes back fresh and renewed.
Gotta give Fineman credit though, he cringed for his supper admirably; managing to blame 9-11 on Monica Lewinsky and referred to Clinton's war on terror as a "big nothing".
Hell wasn't Howard one of the prime exponents of the "Wag the Dog" theory of Clintonian Foreign Policy?
I seem to recall he was.
Play that no mind though, if the I-Man is gonna plug Howie's next book or cable gig then he has to shit on Clinton long and loud lest the toothless terrier wax wrathful.
Fineman did reveal one great secret of the great DC media whorehouse....when asked to explain why we "enable" our Presidents so, Howard replied "We want our President's to succeed..."
Very telling that quote...also a bit disingenuous in my opinion.
We want our LIKE MINDED Presidents to succeed...I will happily enable President Kerry when the time comes. Fineman of course will wallow in journalistic objectivity whilst still working night and day for JK's downfall.
That is the difference between us, his actions are cloaked by the pretense of serving the public good, I'm just hacking away here for the hell of it.
Realistically this is the best anyone can hope for...with the proviso that a free press needs to guard against it's own base biases...something Fineman couldn't do if you put a gun to his head.
Otherwise what is this "We" shit white man?
Howard presumes to speak for the electorate in this case because he has a blind assumption that conservatism controls the discourse...which is a fatal failing that his employers at Newsweek ought to guard against...that is if they weren't media whores par excellence themselves.
And so the maddenly self satisfied Howard Fineman had an easy-assed appearance on Don Imus...untroubled by the need to explain the President's incoherence or our policy failures in Iraq.
No doubt the Imus days of rage will continue this week I look forward to a riotously appearance by Laura Ingraham within a few days and who knows maybe Don will bring the Reverend Hargis out of the crypt while he is at it.
Anything to keep the fire of Clinton hatred stoked.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
