[lbo-talk] NY water makes your penis fall off

[Doug Henwood]

[from Howard Kurtz's column in today's WaPo on NY Times alum Dean 
Bacquet's ascension to editorship of the LA Times - I guess Keller 
doesn't think women are recruiting targets, or maybe he only knows 
women with securely fastened strap-ons]

New York Times editor Bill Keller said: "Dean's a prince -- a 
world-class investigator, an inspiring editor and a barrel of fun." 
But Keller said he hoped Baquet would start "fighting fair" in luring 
staffers: "He has this habit of telling recruits there's something in 
the New York water that makes your penis fall off."
