Author: The sudden return of Josh Mostel
Subject: God forbid the Inky to give Smerconish any credit for reaching the masses. In the recent Balwin School debacle...

...parent Steve Carter was a guest on Michael's show last week, lamenting the idea of sending toiletries to Iraqi children while ignoring the plight of less fortunate American children.

No doubt, Steve Carter spearheaded the drive to prevent Baldwin from carrying out their plan, but can you really doubt that reaching the masses through Smerconish had nothing to do with the school's decision to rescind their plan?

From the Inky, "Balir Tambaugh, head of the Baldwin School, said Baldwin withdrew from the Iraq project because it did not want students placed in the middle of a political argument amongst adults....Parents learned about the ...project...in a Jan. 7 letter. Two days later, Carter went on a local radio talk show to voice his opposition..."

That's it, a mere mention of it being on a local talk radio show...not one kudos to the vast audience of Smerconish had nothing to do with Baldwin's sudden 180.

[> Josh, we know the real reason- The Inquirer is blacklisting Smerconish because he is not writing his column for them. That's why it's The Stink-quirer. They sat on their hands and passed up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to land a real print and broadcast star. Don't think Mike is missing a minute's sleep over this alleged "snub." -- A.
