Horne can’t catch a break on the left or the right

by David Safier

I'm not one to sympathize with Tom Horne, but I think the guy needs a friend, and a hug, about now. Not only do people like me snipe at him from the left, but the Sonoran Alliance tore him a big ol' new one on his right flank (That's gotta hurt!) in a very long post titled, Scandals, potential investigation, Education Department woes upend Horne campaign for AG.

How many ways does the writer dislike Horne? Let me count the ways. Horne told backers, anyone who made an $840 donation got special access. He got speeding tickets (including speeding in a school zone???) and missed court dates. He presides over a mismanaged and scandal-ridden Dept of Ed (the writer even cites one of my posts in this section). All of these incidents are spelled out in loving juicy detail.

And then the post ends with a list of 17 links for anyone interested in learning more.

Not a good day for the Ed Supe.
