Ask Mistah Kurtz
Howard Kurtz is going to have another online chat Monday (that's tomorrow) at 12 noon Eastern, 9 am Pacific. Here's what I've submitted for a question --
Dear Mr. Kurtz: You have for the past week lamented how lefty bloggers have the nerve to try to get America to care about the fact that a $200-an-hour male prostitute was allowed, under an assumed name, to bypass Secret Service vetting and get into the White House press corp so he could lob softball questions at Bush for two years. You have worried out loud that by publicizing the fact that he is a gay male prostitute with no journalism credentials (Talon News was created AFTER he started getting his infinite day passes) and yet still got to be in the press corps because he was a Republican operative, that his privacy has been invaded. I notice that, when Democratic presidential advisor Dick Morris got caught sucking the toes of a woman not his wife, you were not so concerned about Mr. Morris' privacy: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/tours/scandal/morris.htm And where were your expressions of concern when Canadian journalist Jeffrey Kofman was outed by Matt Drudge as a punishment for being critical of Bush's handling of Iraq? http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1589/is_2003_Sept_2I don't expect a response from him. But feel free to go to Eschaton for some other questions to ask Mistah Kurtz. Let him know we're on to him. It'll make him nervous.
