Unintentional humor from Clay Robison
Clay Robison penned an unintentionally amusing column about Governor Rick Perry today.
By the usual weekend editorial standards of the hyperpartisan Austin news bureau chief, it was relatively tame stuff, much less incendiary than his usual fare, although still replete with the usual bellyaching that the state is not engaged in enough wealth redistribution.
Mainly, though, he took Governor Perry to task for factual errors contained in a display about him in a Texas museum.
Such nitpicking is rich coming from the newspaper that recently misidentified Dan Rather's network affiliation and reported Lee Brown worked for the Bush (not Clinton) Administration, not to mention the newspaper that threatens local bloggers for excerpting its articles even though its metro/state columnist is not punished for reproducing another person's copyrighted text, without proper attribution (some call that plagiarism).
Robison's funny, even if he doesn't know it.
And then there's this separate, odd recollection of Texas votes in the 1980s that ran this weekend, which isn't funny, but isn't really anything else either.
Mr. Robison may need a vacation. Or maybe he actually was taking a vacation when he phoned in these latest columns.
