The "Anti-American Statesman" is generally a Democrat Party mouthpiece and McNeely was its chief political writer.

(Austin, TX) Paper's Endorsement of Bush Causes Outrage

Thanks for the reminder. Who a paper actually endorses for political office is often the decision of the Publisher, not the editors. Clearly, the editors wrote an endorsement of Kerry while half-heartedly also disclosing their official choice they probably disagreed with themselves.

And McNeely was always a reporter and columnist, never to my knowledge an editor. But, as their chief political writer, much of the content of their state government coverage contained his slant.

Not that any of this matters. The anti-TTC folks get to have another of their rant threads but the idea of impeaching Perry over this is as loony as impeaching Bush for the war on terror.

And it should be no surprise that it is the liberals who keep bringing up both subjects.
