I don't know what part of South Texas you live in, but there's an editor at the Corpus Christi paper - one Libby Averyt - who went to jail over this same thing some years back. She apparently parleyed that adventure into a posh position at the paper, since she was just a reporter when that happened.
I saw the coverage given in today's issue. One column written by her and another one written by David Broder, who is involved in this mess. I am so sick of the liberal media I could hurl.
