Tom Shales is a wanker

One of our readers, Darrin Hensley, alerted us to the Washington Post Tourgasm review by the ever dyspeptic Tom Shales. Herewith is the money quote:

Unfortunately, the show’s format… is off-putting from the outset, largely because comedians are among the most self-absorbed and self-fascinated creatures on the planet– monkeys in front of mirrors who seem never to tire of making allegedly funny faces.

Have you seen Tom Shales on any of his television appearances? He has a great face for telegraphy. He should be so lucky to look in the mirror and see a monkey. There is plainly something wrong with the man that he harbors such animosity toward comedians. The Washington Post wouldn’t let anyone get away with such bigotry toward any other group. (He just took a buyout from the WashPo, so we probably won’t have to deal with his drivel any more.)

Says Hensley of the review: “Don’t get me wrong… I like making funny faces but jeez… I’m not always looking in the mirror.”
