Bob Trane suing The Somerville Journal

A friend e-mailed me this. It seems rather odd and childish. Bob Trane is suing the Somerville Journal over a cartoon? In my opinion, it does not send a good message about Trane, frankly. Comments?

What? Xenophobic? Based on what evidence?

Evidence? We don't need no stinking evidence!

This is textbook News opinion writing here, but there are loads of bonus features: check out James Norton's response to Sciortino (who actually responded to this nonsense). There's also discussion of Heller's mysterious "orange flyer" allegedly smearing Trane - but no one actually could directly quote from it. the only thing that's missing is a post from the legendary Cambriville personality Dr. Mrs. McCarthy.

Pathetic. The question I have is: why? What can Trane do for the Somerville News clan? It must have something with to do with real estate in Somerville. But what exactly?
