Passing the Buck

I was stunned when I logged on to today's Republic and thought I saw an editorial that...gasp...was critical of Governor Napolitano.   Investigators have learned that conditions at the Arizona State Veteran Home are deplorable.  The Veteran Home is a state agency and and the title of the Republic's editorial is Buck Stops at the Top.  Hmm, could it be possible that with the election safely over, the Republic's status as cheerleader could be changing?  The article continued with promise...

The wheels are in motion to unearth what went wrong at the Arizona State Veteran Home - to track down the facts, punish the guilty and fix what went wrong.  That much is gratifying.

So where does the Republic think the buck stops?

To keep the wheels of reform moving, the director of Veterans Services must go.

Yep, that's how Truman would have handled it..."the director of Veterans Service must go."  (The passive voice is a nice touch.)

The position is a non-partisan position. The guy had the blessing of Republican administrations as well as the Democratic administrations. So why do you blame Janet - D? He was appointed by Jane (Hull) - R.

BTW, have you noticed all the typos and increased grammatical errors in the AZ Republic? We should discourage people who want to learn English from reading it, don't you think?
