The AAEC also hopes newspapers will publish the...

BROOKE GLADSTONE: We're back with On the Media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. BOB GARFIELD: And I'm Bob Garfield. In 1969, Groucho Marx told a magazine reporter that, quote, "The only hope this country has is in Nixon's assassination." Paul Krassner, the publisher of the underground magazine The Realist, heard about his friend's comment impishly dashed off a letter to the Justice Department. The Feds had recently arrested Black Panther leader David Hilliard for threatening Nixon during a speech, and Krassner wanted to know what the government was going to do about Groucho.

Shame on the Secret Service. This week, it investigated renowned editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez like he was some left-wing homeless crackpot who had sent President Bush an anthrax-laced death threat -- all because Ramirez drew a provocative cartoon that was clearly intended to defend the president. Meanwhile, the Secret Service can't even keep a loony-tunes stowaway from conning his way onto a White House press charter plane in Africa or prevent a known wacko named the "Handshake Man" from slipping past security and personally delivering an unscreened letter to Bush at a public event in Washington, D.C.

The agent was turned away. A Secret Service official said the inquiry was routine, according to Karlene Goller, an attorney for The Times who met with the agent and later spoke to an official in the agency's Los Angeles office. The government asks questions of anyone publishing material that might be construed as a threat against the president.

LA Times has published a political cartoon by Michael Ramirez of Jews praying at the Wailing Wall with the word 'HATE' made of blocks on the wall. (Sorry I was unable to post the cartoon, but can be seen at the LA Times site under Op/ed.)Not that we don't expect this kind of garbage from the LA Times, its just that the bottom feeders have again reached a new low - or a new personal worst.
