It was False Equivalency day on Morning Scabs: PODHORETZ pointing to Dems for SCALISE shooting

He was totally distracting things away from the targets of the attempted bombings by exonerating SHITLER of any responsibility by ticking off SHITLER's supposed "accomplishments" (tax cut), much like the Wiki entry below catalogs his accolades for Shrub. Finally the woman with the Brit accent on the panel (I haven't kept up with this circus) couldn't take more and closed him down. As for his connection to ReganBooks, remember that? It was Judith REGAN's present from MURDOCH, she who foisted LIMBOsevic's books on the world, who carried on Hot Wingnut Sex with Bernard KERIK in their lovenest of an apartment paid for by NYC for first responders during 9-11, who interviewed him with the question, "Where were you when the planes hit?" and he answered, "Stepping out of the shower after working out..." and the t.v. camera lens steamed up with her breath. She finally crashed and burned with her "If I Did It" project with Orenthal SIMPSON.

John Podhoretz

..... Podhoretz served as speechwriter to former U.S. President Ronald Reagan as well as former President George H.W. Bush. He also served in the capacity of special assistant to White House Drug Czar William Bennett. ... ....
... He was also a consulting editor at ReganBooks, a former imprint of HarperCollins. Podhoretz has a regular column at the New York Post. ... ....
.... At The Weekly Standard, one staff member said, Podhoretz's "arrogance and egotism had a psychological effect people can't quite believe." At The Washington Times a colleague reported, he was "permanently frozen in juvenalia." Glenn Garvin, the Central American bureau chief of the Miami Herald, once said that at the Times, Podhoretz "constantly complained that his brilliance wasn't appreciated."[4] ....
Podhoretz was a steadfast supporter of U.S. president George W. Bush, and his 2004 book Bush Country called Bush "the first great leader of the 21st century". ... ....
... Podhoretz wrote: "You want to know what anti-Semitism is? When Pat Buchanan calls Israel's military action 'un-Christian.' That's anti-Semitism."[6] ... ....
... Kill as many bad guys as we can, with as many troops as we can muster."[8] ....
Podhoretz often writes about popular culture, and was called the "resident pop culture expert" at National Review Online by Jonah Goldberg.[18] Dennis Miller has called Podhoretz his "favorite movie reviewer."[19] Podhoretz has written that "it doesn't make sense to judge pop culture by its politics."[20] In 1999 a column he wrote for The New York Post, "A Conversation in Hell",[21] which featured a conversation between Satan and Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., was spiked because of its controversial nature.[22] ....
