DMN for Stinky Kinky (Stunningly stupid)

Texas Tribune
2010: Newspaper Endorsements: DMN for Kinky
In the contested Democratic primary for Agriculture Commissioner, the Dallas Morning News has endorsed Kinky Friedman over Hank Gilbert. Well, maybe we should say: The News has opposed Gilbert over Friedman, since the editorial is more of a knock on the former than an attaboy to the latter.
(snip from DMN endorsement)
Gilbert knows agriculture issues in vastly greater depth than Friedman, but he would lead Texas in the wrong direction in key areas. One is a move away from globalization and toward protectionism for farm products. He says he is not a big fan of crop subsidies, yet he thinks Congress caved to foreign nations that complained Washington was propping up U.S. producers too much.

How about no endorsement if you have a grudge against Hank? But no that wouldn't play well to the corporate masters you serve! :grr:

*$#!!!X+***#@!!! stupid DMN!

1. Full link tot he trash endorsement

Dallas Morning News 2/8/10
Editorial: We recommend Friedman in ag commissioner primary
Picture cigar-chomping entertainer Kinky Friedman as state agriculture commissioner. It's hard to see him in any statewide office, really, but his talent for folksy one-liners could at least be useful in the important role of promoting Texas farm and ranch products.

What ass-wipes! :puke:

2. Good Grief.

Did they endorse bush for president too because "he'd be fun to have a beer with?"

3. Probably did - I'm trying to forget those years

I know the Statesman endorsed bushie - twice. So I bet the corporate weasels at DMN did too.
