    'Post' Continues To Display Finely-Honed Sensitivity

    We remember an old bit from some comedian (we want to say Jeffrey Ross) that questioned the challenges involved in being a toll collector: How difficult, he asked, could your job be if when you called in sick they replaced you with a basket? Well, the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority apparently takes the rigors of the role quite seriously: They're being sued by one Juliana Medina, who says the TBTA wouldn't let her make change because she walks with a cane. While not as familiar with the intricacies of disabilities law as we should be, we're pretty sure that this is an open-and-shut case. What's more interesting to us here is the subhead The Post used in its report on the story: "Gimpy Gal vs. TBTA."

    Presumably "Spazzy Sue" didn't have the same kick.
