You should thank your lucky stars . . .

. . . that you weren't on The Arizona Republic reporting and editing team that had the thankless job of shepherding this Second Coming of Sue story into yesterday's paper.

    I almost stopped reading after this:

    "Many Arizona leaders enthusiastically greeted the news that former Arizona Republic Publisher Sue Clark-Johnson will be retiring in May as Gannett Co., Inc.'s chief newspaper division"

    But I thought that didn't make sense because she always comforted the comfortable and ignored the afflicted. Then I read on to learn they were happy she's moving back here. Just what Phoenix needs.

    Wow. I felt bad for twice having to do prominently played stories about the new niche Web publications rolled out at my Gannett paper. But the couple reporters on this story are the man with no feet.

    How do you screw up the lede on a puff piece? Original lede makes it sound like Arizona leaders are happy she's no longer leading the Newspaper Division and is slinking back to the Empire of the Sun.


    Didn't these sycophants mean:
    Many Arizona leaders yesterday enthusiastically embraced the news that former Arizona Republic Publisher Sue Clark-Johnson soon will be returning to the Valley.
    Clark-Jackson announced yesterday that she will retire in May as chief executive of the newspaper division of Gannett Co., Inc.

    And shouldn't that outmoded term "newspaper division" be renamed the "platform-agnostic, seven-desk, 24/7, information center division."

    Mojo, mofos!

    I thought she never left? She is in PHX (or Lake Tahoe or who the hell knows)more than at work. How can there be a 2nd coming when one never left?
