Fineman Hurt by Being Called Ugly; Tucker Hit by Lib Deer; & O'LIELLY's Pe

[UTUSN]

& O'LIELLY's Peers.

Haha, FINEMAN says "somebody" is called ugly---wonder who, as in why-is-Howie-hurt? In the collision of deer & Tucker CARLSON, "No people were hurt"----which does not clearly exclude Tucker.

.... Many sites urge visitors to personally call reporters and news organizations and send e-mail messages, which can number in the hundreds daily.

"Most of us now realize that this is a constant conversation, and I think that largely that part of it is good," said Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek. "Some of the stuff includes very personal and nasty things about people - they go after people's physical characteristics, they'll say somebody's ugly - and you just have to ignore that."

Still, he said, "I would be lying if I didn't say it could be hurtful."

A recent posting on DailyKos, a liberal Web site visited by more than 500,000 people daily, according to blog rankings posted on a site called The Truth Laid Bear, declared that Mr. Fineman "loves the G.O.P. and hates gays just like all of the press." It went on to call him "wimpy," a "slime" and worse. ....

• Dangerous times: First Tucker Carlson was dissed by Jon Stewart. Now, is nature turning against him, too? Early yesterday morning, Carlson was snoozing in the back of a town car, returning from a debate with his CNN "Crossfire" co-host Paul Begala at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa. Two deer darted onto Interstate 95 south of Baltimore. The driver avoided one but collided with the other, setting off the air bag and rendering the car undrivable. No people were hurt. Also fortunately, Begala was bringing up the rear in another car and gave Carlson and his driver a lift. "I'm afraid the deer was not long for this world," Begala told us yesterday. "But as we were inspecting damage, I thought I heard the deer yelling from the woods, 'Your show sucks!' "

.... It is not for us, the public, to make a judgment as to who is telling the truth. It is in the hands of high-priced lawyers and a jury of O'Reilly and Mackris's peers. ....

I watch him every night, but since the lawsuit he seems like a different talking head. The sneer is gone, the "holier than thou" look is no longer there, and he flip-flops on his opinions. ....

1. They only have themselves to blame.

They and their kind set the example. Years of listening to those morons trashing Dems over their haircuts and other mundane matters. Christ, I heard an underage Republican girl say the other day that she wouldn't vote for Kerry because she didn't like the way he looked. I have no doubt that she was repeating words from her mother's mouth.

2. the repeated line by Begala was funny

"But as we were inspecting damage, I thought I heard the deer yelling from the woods, 'Your show sucks!' "

I think all of these hack pundits are starting to get the picture. They are part of a dieing format.
