Wank on Your Own Time, Kurtz

Is there no one left at the Washington Post with the wits and decency to tell Howard Kurtz that obsessively recounting the details of a female CBS correspondent's sex life and calling it a column is unseemly?

And, ya know, sexist. Unless he's got an archive with stories about male journos and their "unplanned pregnancies" of which I'm unaware.

My favorite part is this: "Logan, 37, says she and Burkett plan to get married eventually." Well, that's a relief. For a second there, I was prepared to be positively scandalized by the idea of an adult woman having sex with someone and not marrying him. The horror!

It's just a completely ludicrous piece of dreck. And I love how he talks about her private life being "tabloid fodder," as if his making it fodder for his skeezy little column is somehow materially different.

Honestly, what a disgrace.
