Does Howie Fineman bug you?

[Jack_Dawson]

He bugz me. I don't why - he just does. Anyone have any ideas?

[ObaMania]

1. No

He usually keeps Tweety in check and he seems fair in his analysis.

[thebigidea]

2. A couple months ago he was starting to get slightly critical of Bush...

... now he's firmly back in mediawhore territory.

Dontcha just love that self-important raised-eyebrow expression he pulls to look more mysterious?

I wonder if he had that face frozen on his mug when Franken got him a date with Meg Ryan.

I'm sure it was a magical evening!

"Oh, Howard... tell me more about how Bush is strong and manly..."

"He's a very popular wartime President, Meg."

"But he's down in the polls this week, Howard!"

"He is? Well, then he's completely awful and terrible and people just don't trust him."

"Oh wait, I spoke too soon - he's up in the polls."

"He's a very popular wartime President, Meg."

3. You mean

fill any hole you want "Fineman" He never bugs me.

[Catholic Sensation]

4. I like him

he's funny when he's on Imus' show. He's very well spoken, and since he's not a columnist, he has been very "fair and balanced" whenever I've seen him on shows like Hardball, et. al. Plus he's an excellent writer.

5. Fineman is a Bush worshipping swine. He's a poor excuse for a journalist.

[Jack_Dawson]

That might be it...

Seems he's always slipping Gillespie's talking points into his analysis...maybe I'm just being paranoid.

[Catholic Sensation]

7. give me evidence of him worshipping bush

please, and don't give me anecdotal crap, that only makes your comment look more stupid than it already does.

[oasis]

10. I've seen the slimeball on numerous talking head shows offering up his

GOP talking point analysis. If you like him fine. Your opinion is not based on anecdotal evidence I'm sure of that. :dunce:

[City Lights]

12. He did win the Media Whore of the Year Award a couple of years ago.

I'm sure he didn't win it because of his balanced writing.

[porphyrian]

6. It's the name "Howie."

Well, it fucks me up.

[Pathwalker]

8. Wasn't he MediaWhoresOnline's 1st Annual Whore of the Year?

He should be forced to appear in blue dresses.

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Link?

[City Lights]

15. They're out to pasture, but here's a link to their site:

http://www.mediawhoresonline.com/

Howie's still on their whore list.

I sure miss them.

[Jack_Dawson]

16. What do you mean you "miss" them?

Mediawhoresonline is offline? I swore I just clicked on their site.

[Pathwalker]

17. Try this:

http://www.the-hamster.com/mtype/archives/000016.html

[thebigidea]

18. all will be explained if you click on their site again

[Jack_Dawson]

19. "Out to Pasture" doesn't explain anything

What happened to the site? Lawyers?

[Pathwalker]

20. Please check the link I provided.

Fineman WAS their Whore of the year - period. MWO just disappeared one day...rumors abound as to why.

[thebigidea]

22. Sure it does.

pasture

SYLLABICATION: pas·ture
PRONUNCIATION: pschr

put out to pasture 1. To herd (grazing animals) into pasturable land. 2. Informal - To retire or compel to retire from work or a full workload.

I'm guessing the comment doesn't refer to grazing animals, so definition number 2 is probably it.

There were rumors than the operator went to work for one of the campaigns some months back.

[Jack_Dawson]

24. Hahaha! Sarcasm! I get it!

It still doesn't explain why the site is down, does it?

:eyes:

[thebigidea]

26. I'll try not to answer any other questions you may have.

You didn't understand after several attempts by several people, and I tried to answer.

I explained "out to pasture" since it seemed to puzzle you, and mentioned the operator probably went to work for a campaign... which were the only real explanations circulating some months back.

My apologies.

[Jack_Dawson]

28. Sowwy - Thought you were being a smart guy

I understand "put out to pasture". I don't understand WHY the site was put out to pasture - thatz all.

[City Lights]

27. I don't think their site is "down."

I think they chose to stop updating it. They've moved on to other things.

[City Lights]

21. Their site is up, but they're no longer updating it.

Says "out to pasture."

I think they've been gone for a while.

[montanacowboy]

9. Howard "the Duck" Fineman?

Jeesus... remember this A hole the night the Supremes brought in their verdict to seat the boy King, this jerk almost fell down the front of the SOTUS steps, he was soooooooooooooo breathless, happy to report that there would be no more counting of votes in Fla.

This guys is a No.1 Shill for the bushitas - he is a craven whore.

[oasis]

23. I agree 100 percent, however, there are some here that "like him".

Go figure :shrug:

[liveoaktx]

13. Example: (repeatedly) People like Bush

not *Some people like Bush* or *25 percent of the people like Bush* or *reporters who fear for their jobs like Bush*. An entirely subjective statement that doesn't represent any particular facts or research. I wrote several times to complain about these types of statements from him but he kept it up, so when he came on, I turned the channel.

[Jack_Dawson]

29. I lke Bush

...nevermind. Point is, dude is a RW shill.

[tom_paine]

14. Just because he is a bootlicker of aristocrats and Imperials

Just because he often writes as if he is using Newt Gingrich's "Contrasting Words" Manual?

Just because he NEVER misses a chance to bash Kerry and the Dems with his not-so-sly innuendo, sort of the Judy Whoredruff of the Cocktail Party Print Media?

[cthrumatrix]

25. he know where his bread is buttered...don't look for truth

he's a pundit for rent
