I had been neutral toward him, as soon as I found out about that stuff I thought what a scumbag, how could CNN possibly hire him and how could no one there resign in protest?

Has Howie Kurtz said anything about the hire?

Is there anyone else on TV with such a sleazy past (outside of Fox News, of course, which is headed by Roger Ailes)?
