In today's Daily Bulletin, Disgraced ex-county supervisor Bill Postmus got in a few licks at this former colleagues on the Board of Supervisors (BOS). One way to read between the lines of his piece is to postulate that he really thinks that they, his fellow GOP colleagues, could have saved him from his fall by derailing the grand jury investigation, and now deeply resents them not doing it.

Of course, in spite of the sour grapes and possible over-the-top delusions, he is RIGHT about how self serving the BOS is about the more recent report of the grand jury, which recommends enactment of campaign donation limits and an establishment of an ethics commission. Can nail Postmus, but can't limit our own corrupt game! What a bunch!
--------------------------------

And as for further confirmation, if any is needed, of how far the Daily Bulletin has fallen as a professional outfit, did anyone catch a small blurb on the Politics Now section a few days ago?

It concerned an apparent decision by a state legislative committee, headed by a Democrat of course, to end a program that I believed helped home schoolers. I noticed immediately that this blurb did not fit the style of the other blurbs in the section and seemed to be far closer to editorializing than anything that can be called reporting. It then dawned on me: "This is a press release" probably from an advocacy group.

The problem is not in printing something reported from such a group. It is in simply printing it as is, and not attributing it to an outside source somewhere on the same page. In other words: it was plagiarized.

If the Daily Bulletin was a student, it would be expelled, and would deserve it. Now we can add, cheater, to the list we already know: Right-Wing-Mouth-Piece, keeper of David Dreier's closet, etc.

Who would have guessed?

Not much I disagree with Postmus on, he obviously knows firsthand what the problems are within the County BOS. Thanks for the post Larry, just a suggestion to post link to the DB article :)

I have been waiting for someone, outside of our little group, to go after Postmus for his lame column. At best it was sour grapes, but to me it sounded like a woman scorned!

All this is well and good, however, Adam Aleman (sp) has copped a plea and who knows what is to come out next.

Peace out
Terry
