Howie Carr. Meaner than a junkyard dog, this three-times-a-week Herald columnist doubles as a radio talk show host and is about as even-handed as Rush Limbaugh. Stamping each column with his mark of bitterness and contempt for all things left or even moderate, Carr implicates the entire Herald by association, lowering the “acceptable” bar so that it is physically touching the floor...
...Negative Capability Re columnist Joe Klein's "an overdose of Invective" [Oct. 25]: Although President Bush lowered himself to name calling during the U.S. presidential campaign, it's worth noting the considerable amount of invective hurled at him and his fellow Americans by people in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

For someone to authorize the intimidation and terrorization of poor elderly black women who came...
...agree with columnist Joe Klein that John Kerry won the first debate on "the appearance of strength" [Oct. 11]. I was pleased with the Senator's demeanor and his direct and calm responses, in contrast to President Bush's smirks, scowls and useless sloganeering. Nothing Bush can say will ever convince me that he made a sincere, thoughtful and intellectual assessment of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan...
