Howie Kurtz's Secret Admirer...

Here in the Fishbowl it’s beyond rare to receive a note of praise for Newsweek/The Daily Beast‘s Washington Bureau Chief Howard Kurtz. In fact, it hasn’t occurred since I started working here in December 2009. But this weekend an anonymous Fishbowl reader broke the spell and wrote in the following note of admiration. Since it is “anonymous,” one never knows if it’s the person himself writing in, but we’re giving Howie the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t write his own fan mail.
