12-02-2008 NOTE: 'A GLASS HOUSE MOMENT..." An alert reader noted: "Not too long ago you were ragging on the Star (Hendrick, specifically, I think) for not identifying broadcast competitors when the paper uses material from their interviews. So, I enjoyed your glass-house moment in the Lee Judge item: " During a recent radio interview Judge noted, "I used to say I would die at my desk..." ******************* Ouch!! Caught like a rat. Yes, I purposely omitted mentioning KCUR as the station because the producer had called me at the last-minute to be interviewed for the same piece that aired the Judge interview. I dropped everything to accomodate her and even hyped the upcoming piece on the site. None of my interview aired. I was being pissy by not giving the station credit for the Judge quote. --JL
12-02-2008 LEE JUDGE: ANYONE NEED A SMART ASS? When you have been an acerbic political cartoonist at the Kansas City Star for 27 years, what do you do when the newspaper terminates you? That's the situation veteran cartoonist Lee Judge has found himself in as he recently joined some of the most recognizable Star employees in the unemployment line. He might do freelance work for the Star in the future. During a recent radio interview Judge noted, "I used to say I would die at my desk," he joked. When your resume is pretty much as a professional smart ass, I am not sure what my next move is. "Anyone know if they need a funny night manager at Taco Bell?" (NOTE: Judge will discuss his career and some of his unpublished cartoons Dec. 8 at the Central Library: LINK)
