This may evoke a smile.

On the media madness note, the local paper down here, the Corpus Christi Caller Times, aka Fish Wrapper, scooped this story for a simple reason.

Sarita, Texas, is north of the Armstrong Ranch and south of Kingsville, which is south of Corpus Christi and north of Brownsville. Look at a Texas map, and you will see that Sarita, Texas, is in the vicinity of Nowhere, just beyond the infamous King Ranch.

The local reporter had a professional relationship with some of the local ranch owners thanks to the various local stories centered on their ranches. She was seen, apparently, as a semi trustable media person. After the oopsie, the lady of the Armstrong Ranch called the reporter, name of Powell, with some initial information.

The whole media firestorm is a matter of intense professional jealousy, as I see it. Someone from a backwater local paper, who knows some local people, scooped all of the meat puppets of "national media" on a VP story. The national meat puppets scream "cover up." Screw them, that is the cry of jealous rage.

The sense of betrayed entitlement to "news from VP's office on his gaffes" comes from the simple fact that they got scooped by a South Texas newspaper reporter, a country rube in their eyes.

I am still giggling over that.
