Hewitt's a dolt.

His "debating skills" are often the same as liberal sleaze tactics.

I was a Dimaggiatti. Now I can't stand the guy.

Imagine a significant percent of the population wanting either an interview, or your bloody, severed head on a stick.

I love this line.

How soon till he's put on the college speech circuit with the fake indian and Cindy Sheehan.

I like John Hinderaker's summation of his commentary on the Stein Subject, available here:And this dummy is, apparently, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. No wonder that paper is losing money and sinking into oblivion. Liberalism is the creed of almost every newsroom in America; but the reality is, to be a liberal, you pretty much have to be a fool. Liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid.

I particularly like the section I put in bold for emphasis. :)

Michelle Malkin: THE MOST LOATHSOME PEOPLE IN AMERICA

Hugh Hewitt: Joel Stein, Los Angeles Times Columnist: “I don’t support our troops.”

Hugh Hewitt’s radio interview of Joel Stein on KRLA, Los Angeles this afternoon - audio and transcript here. Hugh interviewed this poor dumb liberal on the radio, and Michelle has the transcript. Avert your eyes; it's not pretty. This guy is below the intellectual level of the average American 8th-grader.

Michelle Malkin: HUGH HEWITT VS. JOEL STEIN: NO CONTEST

During Hugh Hewitt’s interview it was revealed that the editor in charge of Stein’s piece was newly annointed king, Flap means editoral editor (overseeing the Los Angeles Times’ opinion pages), Andres Martinez formerly of the New York Times and hired lackey of Michael Kinsley.

Hell No, I Won't Show ... Support

Several members of the CQ community, as well as Hugh Hewitt, Michelle Malkin, and Glenn Reynolds, noted a most unfunny column by "humorist" Joel Stein in today's Los Angeles Times. Titled "Warriors and Wusses", Stein uses his column inches to announce that his support for Americans who serve in the armed forces only extends to the political correctness of their mission: Hugh absolutely destroyed Stein in his interview this evening, which I caught on the way home.Comments (8) |

This toad has been writing for TIME Magazine for several years now...and it seems that on virtually any subject he manages to slip in some juvenile sexual reference.

Joel Stein reminds me of Hannity's "Honda Prius" caller.

Stein is in some way compromised at every major Hollywood studio except Sony. And with ICM repping him for speeches and Endeavor making his TV deals, Stein is also compromised at two of the top five talent agencies. Stein is unabashed about seeing his new column as a steppingstone to full-time employment by Hollywood.



Stein's personal and financial involvement in TV projects, including a recent show that almost made it onto the ABC schedule and a new blind script deal with Fox Television Studios.

2004-2005 Television Pilots


"UNTITLED": Based on the life of Time columnist Joel Stein from the magazine's corporate sibling, Warner Bros. TV. Stein wrote the script, about the youngest reporter at a national publication, and will executive produce.

A FAKE-TURKEY CORRECTION from the Los Angeles Times:

Joel Stein — Stein's Dec. 5 column said a photo showed President Bush holding a fake Thanksgiving turkey during his 2003 visit to U.S. troops in Iraq. The turkey he was holding was real.

[kcvl]

With a column for Time Out New York and a short stint at Martha Stewart Living magazine under his belt, Stein endured two lean years before he wowed Time editor Walter Isaacson with his laid back style.

Hired to cover Chelsea Clinton's Stanford life, Stein found, like the rest of America's journalists, that he wasn't about to get near the president's daughter. So he ditched the traditional story, and instead wrote about his own Stanford experience.

It appears that he is lying to try to steer the media away from dragging his cousin or family into this debate. While that may appear admirable, I suspect the real reason is that he simply knows very little about this family member, may have contempt for his career choice and fears what he may say about his "reporter" cousin who makes 10x more than he does while he sits in a foxhole getting shelled while protecting Joel's ignorant, uncaring, ungrateful a**.

Ah, the irony. Why doesn't a writer like him appreciate that? /sar

[agere_contra]

I don't see the lie. Cousins are not close family. Close family = Parents, Siblings, Spouse. But maybe this is one of those transatlantic differences.

[Rutles4Ever]

I have to credit Hewitt for an excellent interview.

I also have to credit Joel Stein for staying in the ring and taking the punishment he got.

If he had his eyes opened, wonderful. But I doubt it.
