Casey: Do as I say, not as I do!
Chronicle metro/state editorialist and gossip columnist Rick Casey thinks the office of Chron "bad guy" Chuck Rosenthal should not have indicted a clerk at HISD for breaking the law because he was just an underling:
[I]f voters were ever foolish enough to elect me district attorney, I don't think I would have sought this indictment.
Even if the evidence were overwhelming that he did it.
[snip]
Based on what we know, I say if they can't indict the higher-ups, leave the disgraced underling be.
Really?
Funny that the Chronicle's metro/state gossip columnist should take shots at Rosenthal's office for allegedly picking on an "underling," since Casey himself devoted part of a hearsay/gossip column to blasting low-level bureaucrats (directors of community centers!) just a few weeks ago, even though said bureaucrats broke no laws but merely refused to play Casey's gossip game!
Casey must truly believe in Emerson's adage, "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Or perhaps he gets so wound up blasting perceived "bad guys" that he literally forgets the noxious screeds he's turned out previously. His "perspective" really detracts from the metro/state pages.
