Stephen Rodrick has made a career out of slanderous attacks on Republicans. So he’s even more hyper-partisan that that tiresome hack David Brock.
Here’s some details about his pathetic career:
He was formerly a deputy press secretary for Illinois Senator Alan J. Dixon of Illinois from 1981 until 1993.
In 1996 he burst on the stage as a feature writer with a nasty attack profile of Republican political consultant Arthur Finkelstein for Boston Magazine.
That dubious distinction landed him stints with New York magazine where he did vicious attack profiles of Senator Fred Thompson and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Perhaps the only admirable thing he did was to write an account of his father’s life in his first book, The Magical Stranger, published in 2013.
His biography of his Dad, Commander Peter Rodrick, includes details about his two years in the VAQ-135 squadron. His father was killed in a crash in 1979.
Rodrick showed he was also good in writing the equivalent of “blow jobs in print” for celebrities favored by the Left, including his flattering portraits of Robert Redford and Johny Depp.
Despite all this — hardly anyone ever heard of him.
Basically as a writer Stephen Rodrick is either at your throat or at your feet.
There is no nuance or balance — and this is why he is still a hack and will always be a hack.
It tells me that reading an offering by this guy Rodrick is the mental equivalent of stepping in a pile of rotting dogsqueezins.
