Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:38:31 -0400

The New York Post's Page Six features an item about being treated to lunch by Heather Mills, the ex-wife of Beatle Paul McCartney.The headline of the piece was HEATHER: A LEG UP ON LUNCH, which apparently is a reference to the fact that Ms. Mills is missing a leg.

Speaking of The New York Post's fair-and-balanced DNC '08 Convention Special, the above left Getty Images photo of a Hillary Clinton supporter in Denver (here's another version from The New York Times this afternoon) bears an uncanny resemblance to this morning's cartoon by Post controversialist Sean Delonas.

But within a week, Mr. Taylor's column was on hold, and he was apologizing, in the form of a confessional interview with The Washington Post 's Howard Kurtz. So what prompted Mr. Taylor to dismount from...
