The finally analysis of mercurial Madame Comptroller by someone besides us
The Once and Future Anything That Helps qualities of Gubernatorial already also-ran Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn have finally made the radar of a member of the Austin Media, a gaggle of blood hounds with a collective sinus condition who could not successfully track a fox stole.
The Houston Chronicle's intrepid reporter R.G. Radcliffe has suddenly discovered that our Beloved Comptroller of Public On-Account-Ofs is an inordinately loyal sort, if only to herself. She was a Mondale Democrat in 1984, only to suddenly discover her Elephantary streak but one year later (as she realized that Texas had already begun doing so) and execute an immediate about face and a swap of Party hats. She rode the Lone Star Republican tidal wave for over two electoral decades, only to find herself on the verge of running aground and breaking apart in this year's primary for the move to the Mansion, her next step-up in the Great Grandma Vision.
To which we inquire, what kept you? We trotted down Madame Comptroller's Memories Lane long, long ago, on January 4th in this Year of Our Lord in fact, pointing out the very same things Mister Radcliffe has only just now so diligently ferreted out.
Another day late and dollar short at the Press Office.
