I started to write an angry response to Gurley' s piece/smear on Eric Alterman, but I gave it up because I hate letting stupid stuff get me angry. I went back and read Gurley's piece on Coulter to get some perspective and that didn't work very well. For one thing it's not fair to compare Coulter and Eric. Coulter's a lunatic and a hack. Eric's sane and intelligent. That's all you need to know. For another, Coulter makes my head hurt.

If the worst you can say about Eric is that he's kind of jerk and likes Kobe beef than why bother to write a story?

Even so. Ouch.
