Send Some Ointment to Daughtrey

Roger Abramson successfully blisters Larry Daughtrey for his "phoned in political column" in yesterday's Tennessean. While Daughtrey occasionally writes a column that includes interesting information and analysis, most of the time he only seems to confuse generalized rants with political commentary.

Some local pundits rave about the long-time Tennessee political columnist's insider contacts at Legislative Plaza. That may be, but has there ever been a time when Daughtrey consistently wrote well. He hasn't in the few years the Music City Oracle has paid attention to the local scene.
