How Do You Really Feel?

Reader Jon sends along this note on an XM broadcast this afternoon:

Did you catch Murray Chass on Charlie Steiner's XM show today? Below are some random lines I was able to capture while at work today, sorry I didn't capture anything or in fuller detail (maybe XM provides a show archive?). Murray was followed by a guy who has a Dodgers blog and also writes for SI, I didn't catch his name. But he provided a nice rebuttal to what Murray spouted off. If it was anybody besides Murray Chass I wouldn't write this to you.

He then forwards some quotes from the Times writer:

"I hate bloggers." "Worst development in media business, anyone can be a blogger." "No credentials required, just spouting off their opinions." "Our wives could go on and do it if they wanted to." "I know they're not going away but I wish they did."

Nope, not going away. I'd love to see Murray's wife blog, by the way.

The person following Chass was Jon Weisman of Dodger Thoughts. I hope he writes up his rebuttal.

I'm dying to see the rebuttal. Weisman could argue rings around Chass.

It's okay; according to the Big Lead, Chass is out of a job anyway.

The automobile was also the worst development in the history of transportation--in the opinion of buggy whip makers, that is.

"Our wives could go on and do it if they wanted to."

You know, because bloggers are as stupid as women. How sexist and demeaning. Needless.

Just because the technology scares you, old man, doesn't mean you need to demean a whole gender.

Go away already, nobody cares what you think anymore.

So he's a sexist jerk as well as an idiot. Excellent.

If baseball knowledge was TNT, Murray Chass and Bill Plaschke wouldn't have enough to blow their own noses.
