Vegas’ Beloved Norm Clarke spits hate at Formerly Corpulent Columnist
11.28.2007 Vegas’ Beloved Norm Clarke spits hate at Formerly Corpulent Columnist Michael Politz
It was reported today in The Las Vegas Review Journal by gossip columnist Norm Clarke, that the reason little person Matt McCarthy of Beacher’s Madhouse assaulted a bar patron at Hog’s & Heifers on Monday Night was due to the patron referring to him as a “Midget”. Ironically, in a quick twist of fate. Norm is just as prone to use offensive adjectives referring to people, calling our very own Michael Politz a “Plus-Sized Local Food and Beverage Publisher”, does this warrant Politz to slap Norm…?
Norm Clarke should have learned this lesson the the hard way. After including Pete Rose on a list of the ten worst tippers in town, Rose saw Clarke at a restaurant and came over to the table where he was having dinner and slapped him right across the face. The funny thing is that there is a rampant rumor about one of Norms' associate writers having such poor tipping habits that the waitresses in the nightclubs complain to management if they have to serve him.
Truth be told, if Norm (for once) did his due-diligence in his reporting he would have found that Politz is 80 pounds lighter than his “Plus-Sized” days. Politz has made a complete life change in acquiring the services of physician Dr. Ivan Goldsmith and personal chef Josh Green to keep him on a program to ensure a healthy life-style. Politz feels “better than ever!” and is in the best shape he’s been in since 1995.
Being spit at by a little person is not our idea of good clean fun, Norm’s venomous depiction of Politz’ appearance is just as DISSSSPICABLE. Not once has Politz poked fun at any of Norms' ailments, disabilities, poor reporting skills and even worse inadequit social skills.

Michael, Chevy Chase said, "well said - well spoken".
I greet you with the same bottom line confirmation that truly heralds writing.
One, I know Dr. Goldsmith, a true medical pioneer.
Two, I know Josh Green, an effective culinary pioneer.
I have yet to personally meet you, with a handshake.
I have yet to meet Norm-al, with a subtle wink.
Then, there is this, I do know Beacher, the 21 Century PT Barnum. Master of gatherings, promotion, and curiosities, yet another great modern pioneer...
Maybe Jeff can get Norm-al signed on as a side show attraction/curiosity to help us, as this writer's career does a full throttle value jet because of his crap-taculous mannerisms and ill reporting.
Hats off, congrats on your new found health...
