KURTZ: Now what the Washington pundit class is saying, it seems to me Stephanie Miller, is that you may not like Paul Ryan's ideas, and I bet you don't.

MILLER: Yeah.

KURTZ: But at least he has a plan and he's put himself out there with a detailed, or fairly detailed budget, some omissions in it clearly, and the Democrats are largely ducking the debate about entitlements. So how do you take that one on?

MILLER: Oh, you mean ducking, as in not wanting to destroy the social safety nets? This is what drives me crazy about the “mainstream media,” present company excepted of course is that somebody puts forward a plan like that and people go “oh well that's bold and courageous” and ooh he's “serious.” It's seriously a horrible plan. I don't think there's anything, you know, bold or refreshing about destroying Medicare and replacing it with vouchers.

1. Tax cuts now, abolish Medicare in 10 years.

So incredibly cowardly. You want to destroy Medicare for tax cuts? Do it immediately.

2. At least he has a PLAN for smashing the shop windows.

At least he's "gutsy" enough to screw everything up and destroy the fabric of civilised society...

3. why would she exclude Kurtz from her media criticism?

He's just as bad, if not worse, than the rest..

4. Stephanie probably doesn't want a repeat of the Chris Matthews incident

I heard her call Chris Matthews a 'right wing tool', on his show, one time. Chris was not amused and even though she was saying it in a kidding manner (sort of), it was a very uncomfortable remaining few minutes. She was never asked back.

The words seemed to have flown out of her mouth before her brain realized what she was saying - TO HIS FACE. I thought it was hilarious.
