Critic under fire

So, I was checking out Alex Ross' excellent blog, The Rest is Noise, and decided to click on a fellow critic Clark Bustard's blog in Virginia, who mentions that Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Tim Page of the Washington Post has been "disciplined." It seems that DC Ex-Mayor Marion Barry fired off a mass e-mail "blast" to journalists, and Page -- who covers classical music and not politics -- fired one back.

You can read what Page wrote to Barry's PR people in Bruce Johnson's TV news blog, and decide if he deserved to be placed on leave -- or not.
