Beating a Dead Horse

Tuesday's News-Press editorial again showed Travis Armstrong's personal vendetta against the Mayor. Yes -- the Slugger has had several cases of foot in mouth disease and I would not want to appear to be an apologist for that except to say that it's rather easy to be taken out of context with a reporter like Dawn Hobbes -- she's a good reporter but is always looking for the more sensational story.

I wonder when Armstrong is going to admit that Council Member Falcone has some culpability in her strained relationship with the Mayor -- it takes two to tango!

I found the Angry Poodle's account of the squabble between Blum and Falcone a little closer to reality. Here's my favorite quote from the article:

Next Marty took on the ever angry Travis Armstrong, the News-Press editorial writer who seems inclined to blame the City Council—and Blum in particular—for everything from flat feet to painful rectal itch.
