TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH

I've read a lot of commentary, And Editor and Publisher's Greg Mitchell called the NYTimes Sunday spread "the gift that keeps on giving..." But I still think this is the most vexing piece of the Judy Miller saga: Although she told friends that she was feeling isolated and frustrated, Ms. Miller said she comforted herself with thousands of letters, the supportive editorials in The Times and frequent 30-minute visits from more than 100 friends and colleagues. Among them were Mr. Sulzberger; Tom Brokaw, the former anchor at NBC News; Richard A. Clarke, a former counterterrorism official; AND JOHN R. BOLTON, the United States ambassador to the United Nations..." [emphasis mine]

Why would JOHN BOLTON visit Judy Miller in jail? How come nobody's looking at him as the source? She went to jail for a source she couldn't remember? Is that a joke or something?

WISE AND IN LOVE AT THE SAME TIME?
