Well, I called the Muskogee Phoenix publisher again on Thursday (it could have been Friday) and left another voice mail asking about the letter to the editor that used the words "tea bagger" or "bagger" seven times in last Sunday's Phoenix (Larry Parsons was the writer).
Guess I'd better check and see if he was at work any last week though you'd think the wouldn't have transferred me to his phone if he wasn't and his voice mail said he'd get "right back" to you.
Did, however, talk to the editor/opinion editor about that letter to the editor. He claimed that this was the first time he knew what the definition of "tea bagger" was. I informed him that it was all over CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, the Internet, etc. Again, he said he tries to keep up with all the latest "bad" language. So I recommended he add 'tea bagger' to his "don't publish" list of words/phrases.
Somehow I don't think he appreciated my phone call. Mark
