Chron endorses Kirk

Posted on October 20, 2002 by Charles Kuffner

The Chron endorsed Ron Kirk for Senate today. I’m surprised. Hell, I’m shocked. I’d have laid odds on Cornyn getting the nod. I would have thought that the pro-Bush angle would have been more than enough for them. I’ll have to think about this.

    I plan to vote for Spock myself. Oh damn, I already voted. Well, maybe next time.

    I just about dropped my orange juice when I read the endorsement. Maybe this is the vaunted challenge-the-status-quo new regime at the Chron. Or maybe it’s that Kirk has the pro-bidness thing down from his days in Dallas …

    The Chronicle’s endorsements are about as thoughtful as a sack of trout, and they smell just as fishy. You only need look to the front page of the paper to realize just how poor the quality has gotten – they’re starting a four part series on Enron, obstensibly because they hardly covered the story to begin with.

    I was pretty sure they’d endorse Cornyn, too. I think I’m gonna just stop guessing.
