Just how much money is Paul Kuntzler, president of Miller Reporting Company, prepared to spend to make sure Washington Post chairman Donald Graham returns his copy of an A&E documentary about John Kennedy? $334,318, apparently.

According to the New York Times media kit, that's the cost of the delightfully crazy ad Kuntzler published in the A-section of yesterday's New York Times. A single page ad that falls under the category of an "Advocacy/Cause and Appeal/Political/Philanthropy" sets you back $167,157. The cost doubles when you need two pages to explain why WashPo company's honcho is a mooch.

While Kuntzler's two-page ad is largely a typical swipe at the media for not properly covering the Kennedy assassination, he reserves special ire for Donald Graham and the Washington Post, who, according to Kuntzler, "[have] still not returned the important video, The Man [sic] Who Killed Kennedy, Volumes One and Two."

Granted, nobody likes a friend who conveniently "forgets" to return your DVDs, but one can't help but wonder whether or not Kuntzler could have spent his time and money a bit more economically. The "important" documentary in question is available from A&E's online store for a price of $11.98. Sometimes, you just need to take your medicine and realize that, as a friend, Donald Graham is nothing more than a taker.
