David Carr, wacky punster

New York Times media columnist David Carr attempts an awkward riff today on the classic New York Post headline "Headless Body in Topless Bar":

What will The Journal be with Mr. Murdoch at the helm? At heart, he’s a tabloid newsman but critics expecting headlines like “Hedgeless Funds in Stop-Loss Market” may be disappointed.

Uh, yeah. I hear crickets.

I think the far better riff (given the WSJ editorial page) is stealing Howard Stern's self-given moniker and now referring to Murdoch as "The King of All (Right Wing) Media." I'm sure that's been used before, but it is nice to get something--no matter how small--useful from Howard Stern.
