I'm absolutely shocked, shocked to my very foundations, by the tone of all the letters here, violently attacking the upstanding Mr. Kurtz. It reads to me as if every letter writer so far wishes that Howard Kurtz was the target of the Taliban blast. In fact, I've begun writing a new column entitled: "Outrage! Salon Readers Sick Fantasies: Death Wish for Mr. Kurtz!"
There, now that I've established my biased slandering credentials, can I have one of those well-paying right-wing blowhard jobs like Kurtz and his cronies?
