I'M THE VICTIM OF A VICIOUS NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN!

Inspired by the latest season of campaign commericals, veteran New Mexico newsman Ned Cantwell, in his latest column, has launched a negative campaign against fellow columnists and political pundits in this state. It's cheap, shocking, misleading, libelous and the act of a desperate man.

Also funny as hell. Read it HERE

Jim Belshaw, Joe Monahan, my old boss Larry Calloway and I all get roasted.

Cantwell suggests his readers

"Call Steve Terrell, 1 555 REPORTS, and ask, `Steve, when did you first learn of the Page Scandal and who did you notify?' Tell him, `Steve, New Mexico journalism is looking for a fresh face!' "

Dang, Ned, I get those calls every day and they haven't stopped me yet.

(By the way, the stuff about Bill Richardson being an anti-marijuana crusader in his fraternity is all from the gov's biography Between Worlds. )
