Rich Lowry Can't Get Any Respect


From Zach Roth over at TPM:

It looks like Rick Lowry of National Review offered the White House his services in doing some positive P.R. on behalf of Rove protege Tim Griffin, who the administration had sought to sought to muscle into the U.S. attorney job in Arkansas as a replacement for the fired Bud Cummins.

In a January 2007 email, White House political director Sara Taylor wrote:

Prior is going after Griffin. He's made this his cause.... We need to find some folks to defend Tim and his credentials, not to mention our policy.

Your thoughts? Rich Lowry offered to help Tim.

The best part? Taylor went on to ask: "Anyone better?"

Shame on the Bush administration: This is no way to treat the help.

1. This is the doofus who got a tingle in his groin

because he thought Palin was winking at him during her VP debate.

:rofl: LOL - "Anyone better?"

2. His last hope at respectability disappeared when he got wood for Palin and wrote about it.

3. He's no heavyweight.

He's an able enough conservative political reporter but doesn't have much philosophical depth, or much in the way of debating chops for that matter.

5. No kidding. But this shows how agreeable he was to forwarding lies. nt

7. That's not surprising.

He's a conservative. :hi:

6. Ooh ooh I just remembered something else

I think Coultergeist once referred to Lowry as a girly man after he shitcanned her column from National Review.
