Journalist: Your moral and intellectual superiors — with bonus “Todayz Greatest Thing EVAR”

July 30, 2016 By Kathy Shaidle

I’m listening to Adam Carolla and he starts off by talking about Tom Shales.

That particular TV critic was once pretty powerful.

He gave a nasty review of The Man Show back in 2001 that was really more of a review of Carolla, and a slam at the show’s “macho” sensibility.

Today, Carolla says: “Someone tweeted me that Shales got fired from his job and now might be almost homeless, and I thought, good. (…) I think Tom is gay and I think he was attracted to me, based on a tug-on-the-ponytail schoolyard approach.”

And yeah, here’s the new story.

Har. Maybe he could go live in one of Carolla’s 14 cars.
