Art's Man-Crush On Steve Greenhut

Let's just say it: Art Pedroza's man-crush on OCR editorial writer Steve Greenhut is getting creepy.

Art was at it again yesterday, attacking a Red County blogger Christian Milord for disagreeing with Greenhut's claim of an un-fixable breach between libertarians and the GOP.

Milord's column in the OCR Commentary section yesterday was very positive and polite.But Art cannot abide any criticism, no matter how restrained, against the object of his affections. So, being the great thinker he is, Art called Milord "witless" and made fun of his sideburns. Way to use that cabeza, Artie.

Here's some samples of Art's fawning over Greenhut:

"Greenhut was absolutely right about that!"

"Listen Milord, your Red County publisher, Chip Hanlon, picked this fight with Greenhut! Hanlon attacked Greenhut for being anti-war. Hanlon did not stop there. He also attacked and defamed Ron Paul, the popular Libertarian-leaning Republican Congressman who ran for President last year. This was a battle that Hanlon could not win." No one can defeat by close personal friend (at least, i hope he is) Steve!

"Greenhut is right to question that waste of money - and to question U.S. militarization in general."

"Can you blame Greenhut for responding in kind after Hanlon ripped Libertarians for supposedly being fanatics? All Greenhut did was prove that there are just as many nutty Republicans."

This is obviously a cry for help from Art: "Steve! Please let me be you sidekick! Please let me be your mascot! You're the greatest, Steve! The greatest! Please stay my friend! PLEASE!!!!!"

How much longer will Art's embarrassing sycophancy goe on? The only possible way to break it would be if Greenhut wrote that something about negative about Latinos. If there's anything Art cherishes more than being pals with Steve, it is his grandiose delusion of being La Voz de la Raza and "the voice of the unrepresented."

The comments are a "Type B" OJ comment thread: an Art Pedroza/David Zenger circle jerk about how clever and superior they are.
