Granholm Buys Her Own Ticket
The caption under this picture today in the Detroit Free Press made me laugh. Gov. Jennifer Granholm makes her way to today's news conference and to wait to board an Amtrak train in Dearborn with a ticket that she bought. (REGINA H. BOONE/Detroit Free Press)
Why do you suppose the paper found it so important to announce that the good Gov bought her own ticket? Seriously, she is the one riding the train...shouldn't she buy the ticket?
I applaud the governor for doing the right thing and paying her own way, and I applaud the Detroit Free Press for preemptively disarming any controversy before it ever began. Kowtowing for a favored politician takes a lot of effort.
