Chron opinion editor takes buyout

by Matt Bramanti · 10/03/2008 10:58 pm

Three years ago, Chron editorial-page editor James Howard Gibbons wrote the following:

“I have sampled a few blogs, but enjoyed fewer. Though reluctant to do anyone an injustice, I find that most blogs lack the elegance, wit and insight one looks for in magazine commentary and editorial pages in their ideal state.”

Now he’s unemployed, and we’re still blogging.

“Glory to the transit world,” Adee?

Darren, if that’s what it meant, it’d be Metro’s motto.

Ah, more condescension from the liberal elite. Will we ever learn they are the only ones who possess the education, the insight, and the perspicacity to tell us how to think?

Or to put it in knuckle-dragging redneck conservative terms, what a TOOL!

Damn… need to remember to never let Matt walk behind my chair while carrying a baseball bat and giving a speech at a dinner…

Hope the door hits him in the butt on his way out.

The ones I feel for are the hard working folks at the Chron who don’t qualify for the Golden Parachute like affore mentioned Gibbons got. Gotta admit, he shows some degree of smarts to get out while he can. First sign of intellegence he’s shown in years.
