Things Philip R. Klein Missed

In today's posting on the SET Political Review, Philip R. Klein invented purported election returns. We'll revisit after the ballots have actually been counted. Remember this from Mr. 33 percent:

Welcome, Mr. President - Fred Thompson joins the race.

He missed this item in today's Beaumont Enterprise:

Texas Country Reporter is new PA publicist
Texas Country Reporter Bob Phillips is the city of Port Arthur's newest publicist.

At Tuesday's city council meeting Port Arthur city council voted to hire Phillips and his Dallas-based production company, Phillips Productions, Inc., to be the city's public relations and marketing correspondent.

At the meeting, Phillips said he wants to help change the negative perception people have of the city.

City Manager Steve Fitzgibbons said the city will pay Phillips Productions $78,000 to develop a marketing plan for Port Arthur. That plan will include developing a Web site and working with local media outlets to promote the city's redevelopment.|

Of that money, $26,000 will come from the city's general fund, $26,000 will come from the Economic Development Corporation and $26,000 will come from the hotel occupancy tax collections fund, Fitzgibbons said.

While the subject is not as titillating as Rhonda Dugas' bra strap, consider the connections and the issues in this story. One would think Mr. Klein would be all over this as another example of how "JEFFERSON COUNTY IS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN TEXAS!"

Philip and Bob are old DQ buddies. Bob went on to syndicate the highly-rated show, "The Texas Country Reporter," and founded a successful production house in Dallas. Philip, of course, went on to parlay his work with Dairy Queen and the Texas Restaurant Association into the SET Political Review with more than a "million hits" every day.
