SOW, REAP
Bye-bye to Another Heinous Judith

This barely needs comment.

Judith Regan, the firebrand editor who stirred up decade-old passions last month with her plan for a book and television interview with O. J. Simpson, was fired on Friday by HarperCollins, the publishing company that oversaw her book business.

HarperCollins announced the firing, "effective immediately," in a two-sentence news release that was issued about 7 p.m. Eastern time.

"Firebrand." That's almost precious.

[Post-publication addendum (December 17): As always, when it comes to the media, and particularly when the subject is Regan, check out Gawker's coverage of this incident.]
