Say Hello to Caleb Howe, Loathsome Bottom Feeder & (Probably) CNN’s Newest Political Analyst

When you’re a reasonably well-known wingnut blogger and AmSpec‘s “eBusiness manager” who starts tweeting insanely vicious and inhumane stuff about cancer victim Roger Ebert, it pretty much guarantees you a spot in The Situation Room, doesn’t it?

Way to go, Caleb Howe! You could not possibly suck more than you do!

Why do we let sociopaths jerk off in public? WHY?

I guess being AmSpec’s “eBusiness Manager” doesn’t pay too well: Erickson was recently rattling the begging bowl on Howe’s behalf, citing the ravages of the “Obama economy.”

The Invisible Hand has been spanking everyone pretty hard ever since the economy imploded on Bush’s watch. But many wingnuts appear to believe they are especially persecuted. WATBs.

Kevin, Howe’s eloquent response to John Murtha’s death , I think, set a tone for what was to come:
“Good. Fucking. Riddance.”

Media Matters posted the lead-up tweets to Howe’s little rampage. What’s more pathetic than a middle-aged man tweeting smack about a cancer victim? That same middle-aged man tweeting his ludicrous preparations for tweeting smack about a cancer victim:

@lhwhitaker: So was what he said about the flag. I’d say we’re even, but he still owes some pain. I’m working on some cancer jokes.

Then, according to the Twitter timeline, it took him a couple of hours to come up with those winners. And possibly a quart of frozen vodka, though the transparent weasel undoubtedly tweeted that tidbit for deniability.

Our Irascible Sourpuss ought to be alerted to this astonishing breach of the usual code of Teabaggerian civility.

Lovely.

Let’s see, we have Ebert, an award-winning critic and writer of quality movie reviews as well as social commentary. Ebert, who wrote compassionately about a good many things and people, who has fought a terminal illness with grace, class, and dignity.

Then there’s Howe. He’s too shitty to be called shit. He’s like a festering sore on a filthy rat’s ass.

Next time I’ll tell you what I really think.

The Rude Pundit has spotted this as well:

A lesson from @calebhowe: If you’re gonna be a douchebag, be King of the Douchebags. (@ebertchicago)

There’s just no reason to be this big of a douchebag, Caleb, no reason at all.

I think Caleb Howe officially stepped One Toke Over the Line.

According to everything I’ve heard so far today, Kagan’s awesome at reaching out to these people. Lemme know how the confirmation goes; I’ll be bleeding out in the tub.

I’m sorry - Caleb who?

Our old editor at Politcs Daily takes on Caleb, too.

Comment by gimmeabreak on 05/10/10 at 05:00 PM

Wow. He needs an ‘adjustment’.

When Ebert dies, he’ll be remembered as one of the great film critics in American culture. When Caleb Howe dies, no one will notice. I think that pretty much covers it.
