So...when Gonzo claimed to be staying in it "for the kids"...are these the kids he was talking about

[Horse with no Name]

First of all, he was complicit in the coverup of the Texas Youth Commission scandal. In fact, he STOPPED the investigation when he was Texas AG to protect Bush politically.

Another thread from here on this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=837506&mesg_id=837506
So, I was reading in the newpaper last week and saw this article and was trying to figure out why the present AG--Republican Greg Abbott...would do this. The answer is simple. To protect Gonzo. This is an outrageous abuse of power. Outrageous. Typical repub mantra...if you can't control the story...control the media.:mad:

HOUSTON – The Texas Youth Commission says a new interpretation of state confidentiality laws will further restrict the information it makes public about allegations of sexual or physical abuse by its staff.

Jim Hurley, a spokesman for the TYC, said information previously released to the public and media will no longer be available because lawyers with the TYC and the state attorney general's office have said it would be against the law to do so.

"We would like all this information to be public," Mr. Hurley told The Associated Press. "However, the statute does not allow it."

Much of the information that led to those reforms was acquired through open-records requests filed by news organizations, including The Dallas Morning News. The new interpretation of confidentiality laws would limit that information in the future.

1. When I heard him ...

say that, I certainly thought it was odd. The reason he should stay in his job is to protect the kids.

Looks like he was doing some preemptive spinning.

4. K & R - Your thread title is so right on!

I have seen this story posted before, but you have managed to concisely put it out there - repukes have no capacity for taking care of children.

This story needs to be repeated often until somebody in the MSM wakes up.

Thanks for posting! :hi:
