And Just Think What Might Have Happened
If He Hadn't Been Sober!

Lots of other blogs have already picked up the Intelligencer report (which also made its way to Page Six) about Richard Ford walking up to Colson Whitehead at a Poets and Writers party a few weeks back and spitting on him in retaliation for Whitehead's pan of A Multitude of Sins back in 2002. I don't really have anything much to add, other than to applaud Whitehead's apparent restraint for not knocking him flat on his punk ass. And to suggest that maybe Ford should relax, take in a Knicks game with Calvin Klein or something.
