NY Post front page: "Anthrax this!"
BY JAMES TARANTO WSJ Opinion On-Line Best of the Web Today
Here's one reason we love New York: New York Post editorial assistant Johanna Huden, recovering from a cutaneous anthrax infection of her middle finger, pens a defiant first-person account of her illness. It's full of Big Apple attitude:
I'm on Cipro. My finger is healing. I'll be OK. Am I quitting my job? Am I leaving town? Absolutely not. I've been kicking butt in this town for 7 years--trying to make it as a journalist in the biggest and best city in the world. And I will.
Too bad, Osama. You loser.
The front page of Saturday's Post is a tabloid-lover's delight: It depicts Huden holding up her infected middle finger, alongside a headline that screams ANTHRAX THIS.
