Connelly On The Comical

Richard Connelly's onto that infamous anti-rail memo that was inadvertently posted to the Houston Comical's website on 20 November (and noted by various local bloggers).

Interestingly, it seems that Connelly actually got Comical editor (oh, that title is appropriate on so many levels!) Jeff Cohen to comment:

Chronicle editor Jeff Cohen says the memo was a "story pitch" outlining one person's view of topics that should be explored as the rail debate heats up.

"It's no different than what the Houston Press would do as it was contemplating a series," he says. "I make no apologies for having a thorough discussion of the issue. We have nothing to apologize for�There was an inadvertent posting of it to the Web site, and I'm sorry about that, but I make no apologies for the contents of it."

Wow. He deigns to talk to a Press writer. I know it's cold in Houston this week, but THAT may be evidence that it's colder than I thought.
