If there was ever any doubt that Charles Krauthammer is batshit crazy




August 9, 2006

A PERSONAL MOMENT WITH CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER....M.J. Rosenberg shares a Charles Krauthammer moment:

About three years ago, I saw Krauthammer flip out in synagogue on Yom Kippur. The rabbi had offered some timid endorsement of peace — peace essentially on Israel's terms — but peace anyway. Krauthammer went nuts. He actually started bellowing at the rabbi, from his wheel chair in the aisle. People tried to "shush" him. It was, after all, the holiest day of the year. But Krauthammer kept howling until the rabbi apologized. The man is as arrogant as he is thuggish. Who screams at the rabbi at services? For advocating peace?

Those neocon hawks are such a charming bunch, aren't they?

2. I saw this jerk for the first time on cspan a few years ago and
he was talking the most arrogant Clinton-hating language I have ever heard. Even the look on his face was hateful.

3. I'm so sorry he's confined to a wheelchair.
That would make it look really bad if you went over, threw him on the ground & kicked the shit out of him.

9. I just got done reading a book of his,
"Sex, Lies and Politics." It has some serious bush-bashing and is a good read. He's a lot smarter that I ever gave him credit for.

Why is Krauthammer in a wheelchair?

Either that, or he pissed someone off and they kicked the shit out of him.

7. I went to a big luncheon with the Tampa Trib editorial staff
Earlier this year, and attendee's were alowed to make comments or ask questions. One old coot kept asking "We need more Krauthammer. Why won't you give it to us"?

They kept telling him that he only writes 2 columns per week.

4. The rabbi apologized?
Why must everyone bow down before these thugs? At least we know why they are the way they are. It works for them, and they get their way.
