KNUCKLE-DRAGGING SEXUAL POLITICS FROM RUPERT MURDOCH

Headline for a current AP story in Newsday:

Elizabeth Edwards Assails Obama, Clinton

Headline for the same story in the San Luis Obispo Tribune:

Elizabeth Edwards Assails Obama, Clinton

Headline for the same story in Pennsylvania's Centre Daily Times:

Elizabeth Edwards Assails Obama, Clinton

OK, so what's the headline for (a truncated version of) the same story in the New York Post?

MRS. EDWARDS PLAYS BATTLE-AX

Battle-ax? Battle-ax???

I guess "bitch," "shrew," "termagant," "harpy," "harridan" and "she-demon" didn't have quite the right number of letters.

Enjoy your new boss, Wall Street Journal.
