(Community Matters) My response to the Burnt Orange Report’s posting about Texas Monthly’s Paul Burka’s “disappointment” in Obama’s acceptance speech.
Give me a break. What did anyone expect from Burka? He was a Bush enthusiast – “He’s pretty effective up close,” “He got good people around him, and off we went.” The Austin Chronicle called Burka one of Bush’s biggest fans in the press core. So, my point being, despite several good pieces, this guy is cooped by the good ol’ boy network. He’s seduced by the power he purports to write on, and as a longtime insider confuses managed access with being part of the network. The good ol’ boy network and established power (be it Democrat or GOP, whether Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton, James Dobson, Karl Rove or Mitch McConnell) ain’t happy about the the newbie wrestling control.
