Howie Carr...

"descends" to the level of local bloggerdom.
No, he hasn't started blogging or tweeting (so far as I've heard) no, he is serving as official host for the Plymouth County GOP's unity breakfast.
Which is the sort of freelance do-whatever-feels-good behavior one associated with unpaid moonbat bloggering typing away in Mom's basement.
I thought with all due naivete' that Howie was a journalist, subject to journalistic ethics due to his status as a paid professional of the news industry.
Guess not, he is really a Radio Talk Show Host and thus can do any god-damned thing he wants, Boston Herald be damned.
The Herald is finished as a newspaper anyway, they've enslaved themselves to Howie's celebrity, when that thread parts it'll be blustery fishwrap nothing more.
Well all I can say is, Howie has been enabled and protected by his fellow local pundits for many many years now, the consequences of this policy are plain, a complete destruction of journalistic ethics, its far to late to hold him accountable for his Heliogabalus class excesses.
The rules are dead, they'll been dead a good long time, forget about objectivity, let us face that much squarely.
Still at the very least, we ought to reshuffle the definitions here, he ought to be rebranded as "Howie Carr, shill for the GOP" not "Howie Carr local columnist".
And while we are at it, since Howie is a radio celebrity now, can we get a peak at his divorce court records, as we would if he was say...Ashton Kutcher?
All I wanna know is, did Howie get the big screen TV, the rest of you vultures can gather what wisdom that you can from said transcripts.
