Rumor: RW columnist John Leo axed at USN&WR

[Oeditpus Rex]

A friend who's in A Position To Know These Things just told me Leo was bounced from the magazine because a column he wrote on fallacies in the coverage of Hurricane Katrina was full of fallacies of its own, and Leo refused to provide supporting material when asked.

1. Interesting

Could be true -- he does seem to have a tendency to be a creative writer.

2. Good

I never liked him, ever since my local paper years ago started taking his columns. Bunch of hot air. Glad to see USNWR, lame as it can be, finally has the wisdom to reject him.
