What Passes for Conservative Republican Thought in Houston
Amazing how childlike behavior can be such a tough habit to drop. bH's Anne Linehan has the latest variation of it with her hate-on for Peter Wang, who she deems a "busybody" ... presumably as a pejorative. According to Anne's incredibly objective take, Peter's "nanny-state mindset" that single-occupancy vehicles are overly relied on in American culture would represent a "nightmare" if his "like-minded friends start running things."
Yeah, because Anne's like-minded Presidential administration has just been a spectacular success at running things. Seriously, is this a smart game for local Republican bloggers to be engaging in? Better to stick to the WMD hunt.
... well, that or just grow up.
For the record, I merely grazed Peter's op-ed in the Chron back here. Personally, I don't take offense at someone stating an honest opinion, whether it's that more folks should consider public transportation or drive as gleefully as they wish in their H2. Peter makes his case; Anne retorts with the type of childish namecalling that is sadly a trademark for local Republican blogging these days.
*sigh*
