Ex-Flack Gets Whacked Around By Warthen

Brad Warthen writes about accepting a column from a former spokesman for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, and then he proceeds to question his own wisdom for publishing the piece. Brad, what's an editor for? For what it's worth, I didn't find the piece all that enlightening, but I think Samuel Tenenbaum overreacted -- and that's probably about as common as the sun rising in the East. I do wonder, though, if being an ex-flack for a governor might help me get onto the op-ed pages of The State.
