Leffingwell Endorsement Boggles the Mind
RECEIVED Thu., April 23, 2009
Dear Editor,
Having lived in Austin since 1978, I have typically aligned with the political views of the Chronicle vs. the Statesman. The Chronicle's endorsement of Lee Leffingwell over Brewster McCracken, however, boggles my mind [“'Chronicle' Endorsements,” News, April 24]. How ironic that in this mayor's race, the Statesman is the "reliable dad" and the Chronicle is a senile, toothless, drooling, doddering, pathetic, and crotchety old codger. It's really sad to see the Chronicle so out of touch with what the progressive community of Austin wants in the next mayor.
