Howard Kurtz, host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” can usually be counted on to be a reliable water-carrier for the Obama administration. Lapdog loyalty is fierce.
Today, Kurtz gave White House press secretary Jay Carney a run for his money while defending Obama’s work ethic.

Sheppard reports:
CNN’s Howard Kurtz made a comment Sunday that might raise some conservative eyebrows.
In a Reliable Sources discussion about comments Fox News’s Roger Ailes made in a new book about him, Kurtz said, “I think this president works very hard and doesn’t take many vacations.”
Last week, Kurtz tweeted:
Did Roger Ailes go too far in ripping "lazy" Obama? Gail Shister & Marisa Guthrie says he plays by his own rules http://t.co/RiGplzEtbL
