Robert Scheer on Mickey Kaus:
You'd have to be thick-skinned or foolhardy to take Kaus on. Or you'd have to be Robert Scheer. "There's something brutal and insensitive to the whole Mickey Kaus approach," says Scheer, whose syndicated column appears in the Los Angeles Times. "The problem with Kaus is, I don't know what real-life experience he's got. He's someone wet behind the ears, who doesn't get into the streets too often to see how things play out.A lot of people also wonder what "real-life experience" Robert Scheer's got.
Oh, wait. Robert Scheer's "real-life experience" is that he goes out to dinner with famous movie stars, like James Woods:
I had dinner once with that communist guy Robert Scheer, and he was actually salivating. Christ, this guy. If I were casting a potential presidential assassin, I would just have taken a photograph of him salivating with hatred for George Bush and said to the casting director, "Get me an actor who can play this horrible, hateful, vicious emotion" -- and he's a journalist! A journalist who wishes he had a gun with a telescopic sight, that's what he is.
