<SNIP>
Koehler once again hits a home-run with this week's column in response to Wycliff's. Or at least he would have had the Masters of Tribune Media Services not killed the article for the first time in Koehler's career!...

As Koehler explained to The BRAD BLOG this evening, not only is this the first time that he's had a column spiked by the higher-ups at TMS, it's the first time they've even bothered to have one of his columns "shown around" to determine it's appropriateness before it went out!

Koehler took pains to point out that his managing editor, Mary Elson, has been extremely supportive of his work on both his latest and past columns and was, infact, the one who gave him the okay to attend the conference in Nashville in the first place. It was that conference which apparently opened his eyes to the crime against democracy which seems to have occured last November. Actually examining the evidence will do that to a fellow.

The unprecedented decision to spike his piece, it seems, came not from Elson, but from higher up on the TMS food chain late this afternoon, just hours before deadline.
