It's no news to Kosmopolitans that Charles Krauthammer raises douchebaggery to new and exquisite heights. What may be new is his snipe at Christopher Reeve in this
New Yorker profile of Reeve from last year:
"Some critics attribute his words to a state of denial; others have been more caustic, calling him a spoiled celebrity who raises false hopes. The columnist Charles Krauthammer, who is wheelchair-bound and has a medical degree, wrote an angry appraisal of Reeve after the actor appeared in a television commercial touting advances in spinal-cord research; the ad used computer imagery to make it appear as if Reeve could walk again. Calling the ad 'disgracefully misleading,' Krauthammer wrote, 'In Reeve's view, reality is a psychological crutch. His propaganda to that effect undermines those--particularly the young and newly injured--who are struggling to face reality, master it and make a life for themselves from their wheelchairs.'"
Douche. Bag.
Good night, Mr. Reeve. Thanks for being super.
