Larry Kudlow King Trash Talker
I am just plain tired of the trash talking. It never seems to end, especially from the ultra-conservative side of the park. I lean more to the conservative/libertarian side (not liberal folks) of things most of the time, but one thing that irritates me most about the super conservative types is that they always appear to be driving some kind of wedge. I am not sure why that is, maybe because they learned as children that they could get a rise out of someone and that it made them feel good. I really don’t know. But, this commentary by Larry Kudlow this morning in the Washington Times got under my skin…I suspect that was his goal.
Kudlow jumps all over John Edwards for his percieved views on mega-disasters like the Katrina/New Orleans mess and on Iraq policy. I think that it is pretty lame (for lack of a better, family friendly term) for someone as intelligent as Larry Kudlow to do that. Why? Pretty simple, I don’t think anyone, anywhere can say they have the goods when it comes to the end-all, fix-all of these two debacles. If Larry Kudlow is so on top of his game, then we would all be better off by him using his vast resources (montetary, political and commercial) to promote solutions for these and other items he has all of the answers for. Instead, he chose to write an inflamatory piece in the WT. In my mind, that is on par with the rest of the lip service that we are now accustomed to from our political “leaders”.
One thing I did find interesting was his biography on Wikipedia. I am sure that whomever contributed/wrote that bio has their own bias, but I can’t wait until Larry decides to use the “flip-flopper” term. He could be the King Trash Talker and King Flip Flopper.
