Editor's Note: What I Meant By Ed Bradley's 'Pimp Years'

Yesterday, during FishbowlNY’s coverage of Ed Bradley‘s death, I linked to a vintage video of Bradley I found on CBSNews.com. I entitled the post “Video: Ed Bradley: The Pimp Years.” Judging from my inbox and voicemail today, it seems that my choice of words may have offended some readers of this blog. First thing’s first: I loved Ed Bradley. A guy who actually fit the word “legend” — a word that probably gets tossed around too much.
