The Chronicle‘s six-days-per-week Austin bureau chief and Sunday lefty editorialist Clay Robison had an odd conclusion to yesterday’s editorial on third-party gubernatorial candidates Carol Keeton Strayhorn and Kinky Friedman:
Next year, if Perry has his way, [Strayhorn] will be retired, with lots of time for her grandkids. That’s the gentle version of the governor’s vision. Another version would be less charitable … and probably illegal.
Does Robison really mean to charge Governor Perry with sinister thoughts about a mere political opponent?
Or is Robison simply trying (and failing) to be funny?
Either way, it once again illustrates the peril of having the bureau chief offering up scattershot opinions one day per week about the people he’s supposed to cover “objectively” the other six days of the week.
