Rupert] Murdoch said this was 'ill-conceived.' The first response is, 'You think?' " says pop-culture observer

(New York Post)
* "I am not a fan of censorship, but this was so hurtful and in such bad taste," says law prof/analyst
Laurie Levenson.
(Los Angeles Times)
* "I can't think of the last time a book was pulled before publication for bad taste," says Publishers Weekly's
Sara Nelson.

* "On some level, this is grass-roots revulsion," says PEJ's
