If you want to read kind words about Charles Krauthammer, well, go ahead. By all accounts, in his private life Krauthammer was gracious and kind to everyone he met, regardless of their political convictions. But Charles isn’t famous for being a nice guy; he’s famous for being a political commentator, and as a political commentator…

Thank God for Charles Krauthammer! Pretty much.
Yes, Charles Krauthammer, whom I’ve often harangued and harassed, “sometimes … displays a sense of honor” (to quote myself), and one of those times is right now, as he weighs on Trump v. Comey with a well-titled commentary, “A political ax murder”. True, Charlie clings to the now-standard right-wing meme that FBI Director James Comer…
Charles Krauthammer half full, Charles Krauthammer half empty
In his latest column, Charlie the K bemoans “the refusal of an unbending left to accept the legitimacy of Trump’s victory.” Sighs Charlie, “It’s not just the demonstrators chanting “not my president.” It is leading Democrats pushing one line after another to delegitimize the election, as in: He lost the popular vote, it’s James Comey’s…
Charles Krauthammer truly surprises me, for a full ten column inches
Yes, he does. For ten column inches (maybe twelve!) the K-Man coolly and calmly rebuts every single criticism Republicans have made over the recent U.S./Iran prisoner swap. It’s too good to last, of course. Charlie quickly goes off an extended rant about the lifting of long-standing sanctions on Iran consequent to the nuclear deal and…
Charles Krauthammer amazes me
I thought Charle was without scruple when it came to attacking President Obama. Well, I was wrong. Krautbammer has backed the Bergdahl deal when all the other attack dogs on the right were in full cry. Charlies surely didn’t have to do this, but he did. The K-Man has class! I’m impressed!
Charles Krauthammer, Capitalist Tool
In an unintentionally (I guess) humorous column bearing the all too pretentious title of “The Choice,” Charles Aloysius Krauthammer lays it out for America: Obama second term means that the movement toward European-style social democracy continues, in part by legislation, in part by executive decree. The American experiment — the more individualistic, energetic, innovative, risk-taking…
The silence of the Krauthammer
Long-time WashPost columnist Charles Krauthammer, whom I have usually denounced but sometimes praised for a full decade, is one of the most prominent talking heads on the planet. He has been too ill to write his column since early August. But if you want to know how Charlie is doing, don’t read the Post, because…
Shorter Krauthammer: Comey, Schmomey! Let’s talk about Israel!
I think I’ve gotten into the habit of saying nice things about Charles Krauthammer. In my most recent post relating to Charlie, I went so far as to exclaim “Thank God for Charles Krauthammer! Pretty much.”. Well, that was then. Time to get nasty. In his post that prompted my exclamation of “Thank God for…
Shorter Krauthammer: Hey, it’s only six million! What is that in cattle cars?
If I were a Jew, I think I’d be uncomfortable with the figure “six million”. It sends the wrong message, don’t you think? But that’s how many “illegals” Donald Trump targeted for deportation in his latest speech, and Charles Krauthammer, who is a Jew, is totally down with it.. Back in the day, Charlie wrote…
The Wrath of Krauthammer
It is a truism among big-time journalists that you always sell the same piece three times. It is a fact of human nature that we enjoy pissing on our enemies. And it is thus a double pleasure for me to take another poke at one of my favorite hypocrites, Charles Krauthammer. Charles Krauthammer is not…
