“Myself, I struggle not to read the comments posted after my column, because they tend to be long partisan harangues or short personal attacks. But curiosity often overcomes my restraint, and I am invariably rewarded with a nasty slap or two, which, to be honest, sometimes stings.:
Can’t stand the heat? Get outta the kitchen!
I’ll give him credit for advocating the comments stay - most Dem-libs are for shutting down avenues of broad communication that they cannot control. This guy has the marbles to play outside.
Yeah?

we have to remember reporters frequent only left wing sites.
Those are vitriol, curse word, heavy sites.
Complete suppression of all free speech.
And a Ministry that decides what is right, and what is wrong. Perhaps we could call it the Ministry of Truth.
When did liberal boys become such girlie men?
Leonard Pitts Jr. wrote a column in the Miami Herald last week calling for an end to the practice of running anonymous comments after articles online.
Hey Neil, That is what FreeRepublic is all about. Make comments to columns in an organized and moderated forum. Sheez!
Just spend 5 minutes at a leftist/marxist/democrat hate speech site like Democratic Underground, MoveOn.Org or Huffington Post.
The left’s double-standard on print and on-air media is simply astonishing.
Saw where Chris Matthews was all over Limbaugh for calling Obama’s administration a “regime”...likened it to...wait for it...Joe McCarthy.
Check Google for “regime” and Bush...there are over 6,700 hits in eight years. One of which was by...you guessed it...Matthews. Bush’s administration was called a “regime” over 40 times in the...Washington Post.
On and on it goes.
"I am, after all, the most famous drunk in Chicago"
Steinberg was arrested on a domestic-battery charge for striking his wife—for slapping her because she said she was afraid of him and she started to call 911. He was also charged with interfering with the reporting of a domestic battery—that happened when he ripped his kitchen phone off the wall and hurled it across the room. Steinberg was immediately placed on leave from his job. He announced through the Sun-Times that he had been drinking before the domestic-battery incident, and that under court order, he would be entering an alcohol-recovery program.
In less than 24 hours before the incident leading to his arrest, Steinberg had consumed a third of a bottle of Cognac in the early-morning hours, knocked back two vodka tonics and a beer before a 10 a.m. editorial meeting, taken a "long and boozy lunch" with a college friend, had several drinks before boarding his evening Metra train, where he consumed two glasses of wine in the bar car, and then slammed back a drink at a local pizzeria when he picked up the family dinner. He topped the evening off with a snifter of Cognac. Drinking, he admits, is the greatest love of his life.
In his book, Drunkar: A Hard-Drinking Life (from E. P. Dutton) is, by turns, horrifying (Steinberg drinks the bottle of vanilla used for his kids' French toast), exasperating (he turns a speech in New York into a scene from The Lost Weekend), frightening (he leaves his young son Ross alone in the children's section of the Northbrook library so he can run out and buy a pint of bourbon), and funny (home from jail, he wishes he had spent half as much time thinking about his life as he had planning his kitchen renovation).
Steinberg got arrested for hitting his wife while drunk.

And how are Pitts' columns any different?
Any idea who he's talking about?
When you consider the source, this is actually pretty funny.
I think I see your point, although I still don't think it's a knee-slapper.
If Americans' blood has grown so thin that we are supposed to recoil in horror from a boozy newspaperman (what, pleonasm? Oh, sorry!), or from guys who get mad at their wives and rip phones out of walls, or pop her one (Humphrey Bogart's first wife used to hit back -- he thought she was a great dame), then this guy is living in a hell of his own chickenhearted liberaldom's devising.
