MarketWatch Media editor Jon Friedman profiles Washington Post media maven Howard Kurtz today in a lively and interesting piece but its lede is reeeeeeeeaaaaaally reaching:

When Washington Post media writer Howard Kurtz got married two years ago, he could have strolled down the aisle to the tune of 10cc's aptly titled "The Things We Do for Love."

As much as Kurtz loved his bride Sheri, however, the song's title would have also applied to his workaholic mentality.

Like walking in the rain and the snow, this lede has nowhere else to go, and I actually do feel like a part of me is dying. Yes, we're reaching too, but at least now you all know that we have random 70's lyrics on the tip of our tongue at all times.

The article lauds Kurtz for his honesty, trustworthiness and accomplishments, has a few suggestions for how to improve "Reliable Sources" (thanks, Jon!), and includes an adorable photo of a smiley Kurtz (oy, what a punum!). In the meantime, we've got Steve Perry in our heads so we're feeling kind of angsty, but happy.

Sing along to "Oh, Sherry" here and if you want to do something illegal which we wouldn't recommend try to download it without totally getting a virus here. You have no idea how happy it will make us if we hear that in offices around New York people were suddenly absentmindedly humming "Oh, Sherry" so if you catch someone doing it, email us!
