Your political hack columnist M. Charles Bakst is now an insufferable phony. His brain is too intoxicated from daily contact with the high and mighty to think objectively.
He is the classic example of the LIBERAL SNOB. I'll bet he would not even say " hello" to the blacks, hispanics, gays that he sees every day in downtown Providence - unless they were certified big shots.
If you are a big shot in Little Rhody, he will kiss your ass - on the left cheek or the right cheek - whichever you find more titillating .
This morning he congratulates Congressman Patrick Kennedy for publishing his so-called " hate mail ". What a phony Profile in Courage !
Do people who disagree with Bakst and Kennedy have no convictions , no " strong views on human dignity " ? Are Kennedy's own white constituents mostly vile bigots ?
In a column written the day after the grand opening of the Providence Place mall, M. Charles tells Projo about some fat-cat labor leader who " grabbed him " - affectionately of course. No columnist with real integrity would let any corrupt big shot - labor leader or capitalist - grab him. It looks like you're UP FOR GRABS !
I have heard from very reliable sources that M. Charles Bakst was something less than a " friend of labor " in an ugly strike at the Providence Journal a few years ago. M. Charles was found cringing in the back of a Providence Journal delivery truck - a company scab ! He betrayed his striking colleagues.
Perfectly decent people find themselves opposed in a strike. But it is hard to associate old fashioned liberalism with a slovenly and obnoxious scab !
M. Charles Bakst should retire !
