Mobster considered killing columnist

http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...ill_columnist/

This is a big story here in Boston, and I thought it was a pretty interesting one. For those who don't know, Howie Carr is a radio host and newspaper columnist in Boston. He is probably one of the most hated men in town, in that he's Conservative and pretty outspoken about it. That, and he tends to get kind of nasty in his columns and on his radio show.

He also happens to be a long-time antagonist of Whitey Bulger, a Boston mobster who is on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Bulger's brother was the president of the UMass system, and previously the Massachusetts Senate President. Carr has recently written a book on the brothers.

In a "60 Minutes" interview to air this weekend, one of Whitey's men tells the reporter that Whitey wanted to murder Carr, and that it nearly happened.

All in all, a pretty insane story, especially considering all those involved.
