Vicars: Tony Blair is really, really mad at the press. (This is an admittedly meta moment, particularly press coverage of Blair's interview about the press.)
Tarts: Dan Rather doesn't call Katie Couric one, never fear. He does however, accuse her CBS news program of being tarted up, which Les Moonves thought was the same thing.*
Neither: With a name like Folkenflik? Neither a tart nor a vicar I'm afraid, but our media reporter is here to jabber with us about the whole media circus, or as he likes to call it... the whole media culpa. If you have some culpas to heap on us or anyone else, do it here. But be nice. Blair sorta hurt our feelings.
*For the record, Rather claims he wasn't actually calling Katie a tart. I don't think he was either, and I should know, I used to clerk in a lingerie shop.
