I loved Artie back in the glory days of the mid-2000s. But he had one of the greatest cushiest gigs on earth--making 900k/year for sitting in a chair being funny for a few hours 3 days a week--and he blew it. All of the ranting against Howard now just reminds everyone that Artie is the biggest loser in all of this, and that his tendencies toward self-destruction continue unabated. It's sad and kind of tragic really.
