Although we don't know if he reads the Tazer, we like Bud Wakeland anyway because he's echoing something we said at the time.

Leaking info a usual part of politics

Your editorial regarding Richmond Mayor Irma Anderson's car allowances was most welcome and appropriate, with the exception of the sentence, "We find the dirty pool unsavory."

What the heck is unsavory about her opponents leaking information at election time? That's the political process.

Opponents research and expose their opponents, who certainly are not going to expose themselves. That is obviously what happened, just as the Democrats leaked the Mark Foley information on the eve of the national election.

Fortunately, someone is researching those in power. Otherwise, we shortly would not have our freedom.

Anderson's opponents did exactly what they are supposed to do, and the Times did exactly what it is supposed to do, which is report.
