Check it out. In my case, he means he tough-loves me. Dave Horsey to me:<\/p>\n
Regina, I still love you, even though your comments about me are preposterous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This post – Dave Horsey derides his former (fired) PI colleagues<\/i><\/a> – remains big in journalism circles, although most of the discussion is not on this blog. But good responses continue to trickle in, from the irritated (Emily White, whom I think might have intended to respond to this post<\/a>, which referred to her PI tenure) to the amused (Casey Corr).<\/p>\n
White was at the PI for (roughly) a hard half-a-year. Corr was on the staff when I showed up in the early 1980s, put in close to a decade and moved on. Point is, Corr and I (and Horsey) go way back. <\/p>\n
Corr:<\/p>\n
To readers of (Another) Bouncing Ball: I’m going to slip this comment in weeks
\nafter the original posting in the hopes that only readers but not
\nRegina Hackett see it <\/p>\nFirst, I sat next to Regina Hackett
\nback at the old P-I on Wall Street (where the Globe spun for a reason)
\nand not once did she say she found me brilliant. So that sets me apart
\nfrom Emily White. Regina never even called me semi-smart. <\/p>\nSecond, Dave
\nHorsey’s tactic of telling a critic that he loves her is the first
\nthing he learned on the (University of Washington’s) Daily, back when he and other Dolly
\nParton-style big hairs were chasing Charles Odegaard trying to slip out
\nthe back door of the Administration Building at the University of
\nWashington. <\/p>\nIn fact, Horsey yelled “I love you” to Odegaard in a
\nshameless effort to get an exclusive. It worked. Odegaard stopped and
\nthus Horsey gained his first Pulitzer. <\/p>\nAs for Horsey saying he loves
\nRegina Hackett, I can only say, get in line, pal. I loved sitting near
\nHackett so much that when I turned coat and went to the Seattle Times,
\nI graciously allowed Regina to have my old phone number, 448-8332.
\n(That number now rings into a dictation machine that transcribes
\ncomments into a blog called 8332.) <\/p>\nLater, I tried to get Dave to join
\nme at the Times but he had an understandable concern about the chilly
\nwater that flowed in the veins of the editorial-page editor of that
\nera. Finally, if ArtsJournal decides to throw a fancy party for its
\nadvertisers, I’m quite willing to give the speech and celebrate the
\nshock of the new, or the new new thing, or the value of hits or eye
\nballs, or whatever puts digital journalism on the cutting edge of
\ncutting costs as the mass medium turns mini, along with the pay checks.<\/p>\nHave tux, will travel. Casey Corr <\/p>\n
P.S. If by chance, this posting is a
\nduplicate, I apologize. I got an error message when I tried to post the
\nfirst version and lost my draft. The blogging world has its cruelties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
