"We celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, not J. Edgar Hoover Day"

Why doesn't Doghouse Riley have a column in, say, the New York Times as opposed to the brain-dead hacks they employ now? Maybe, as with the mighty Rude Pundit, it's down to the naughty words factor. I suspect though that it has more to do with having the bad manners to point at the incontinent elephant relieving itself in the middle of the dinner party and describe it with the most cutting, shaming prose the English language has to offer. In other words, the man is hopelessly overqualified. Thank providence for the internet.
