Howard Kurtz is one of everybody’s favorite people to mock.  Wanna know why?  ‘Cuz it drives him nuts.

Howie is a Fox News media critic (crazy, right?) who can dish it out but he can’t take it.

After Colbert teased him over Howie’s preoccupation with Hillary Cinton’s age, Howie puffed himself up about the size of Del Rio and blurted …

“It’s about time someone took on Stephen Colbert,” wrote Kurtz. “This guy—a fake anchor if ever there was one—has been maligning hard-working journalists for too long. Journalists like me.”

Stephen Colbert?  Fake anchor?  Damn, when did that happen and why wasn’t I notified?  After all, I am a hard-working professional journalist myself.  I should be on their listserve.  I should know these things.  Damn, I am important.  I deserve unquestioning respect.

And in a moment of spitfire rocket-fueled hypocrisy, Howie says that Colbert has “a protective cloak as a pompous blowhard.”  And good golly if anyone would know about that ….
