The Hack and The Quarterback Sack

Oh, and there's this -- Instapundit, fresh from calling Ed Asner a Stalin-lover and then beating a hasty retreat, now compares ESPN to Comrade Stalin for sacking the Tuesday Morning Quarterback column. Seems that removing content from your website without comment is morally equivalent to masterminding a reign of terror involving the murder, torture and imprisonment of millions.

It's a shame Glenn lacked the fortitude to compare Mike Eisner to Hitler. I blame P.C.

p.s. Has anyone other than the Cracker ever cared what Jeff Jarvis said?

p.p.s. CalPundit invokes Uncle Joe too. Geez. Stalin isn't the only historical figure to surpress speech or attempt to rewrite history. And I don't recall anyone invoking Stalin when the Chicago Trib took Bob Greene's columns out of its pay-per-view archives. Easterbrook has at least three other gigs and an office at Brookings; he's not lying in an unmarked grave with a bullet in his brain.
