Richard Cohen Is a Fucking Idiot

Sully points out the obvious:  Richard Cohen is an old fool, and it's a mystery why he gets paid money (presumably) to crank out shit:

It's hard to imagine in the more meritocratic world of the blogosphere and the web in general that an exhausted incoherent hack like Richard Cohen would have any platform at all. But there he still sits on Fred Hiatt's op-ed page, churning out dated, brain-dead dreck week after week. His latest column really could have been written at any point during any Democratic administration since Carter.

I like think I've out-zinged him re: Cohen here:

As I've said before, Richard Cohen is an incredibly stupid man, but for some reason the Daily News prints whatever re-used mashup of old, tired words he types out on his Smith-Corona.  I'm guessing he has pictures of Mort Zuckerman blowing Raoul, the nighttime stockboy.

Today Cohen really blows the roof off with this: IRAN IS CRAAAAZZZZZEEEEEEEE!!  Wow!  They're leadership is "irrational"!!  Ohmygod!!!  THAT's never been spun over and over a thousand times by breathless conservatives screaming at Obama to bomb them back to the Middle Ages   where they exist today.  Launch National Panic, NOW! You DID it, Richard!!  What hot, fresh stuff!!!  Also: the French are surrender-monkeys!  BOOM!!

Also, who is he writing this for? Why is this in the op-ed pages - what the fuck does he expect ME to do?  Oh wait - is it for Obama? "Hey guys, I was reading Richard Cohen this morning, can someone get me some info on Iran? Turns out they might be WHACKY!!!"

But hey, all I did was block an extra point at Lancaster in 1988 to keep the score down to 47-6, so what the fuck do I know?
