Of all the city council’s silliness over the years, its new boycott of Arizona over illegal immigration takes the booby prize. The funniest part, though, is the boos so far outnumber the yays in the letters-to-the-editor at the daily:
“In a town as reliably liberal as Austin, wouldn’t one assume that a few would stand up for the city council — if their action was at all defensible? The fact that no one seems willing to fight for this silly boycott makes it clear just how important it is to the Statesman’s readers.”
Hmm. That also may be going too far. But it’s pretty funny that the situation has reduced Obamalot to orchestrating an astroturf letter-writing campaign.
