DALLAS — When editorial writers at The Dallas Morning News chose the illegal immigrant as the newspaper's Texan of the Year, they expected some criticism. But not this: 800 blog postings and more than 150 letters to the editor blasting the decision.

Some of the critics threatened to cancel subscriptions or pressure advertisers to stop doing business with the paper.

"What an asinine article!!!" exclaimed one reader.

With a circulation of a half a million, a few 'blog' posts and letters aren't going to bother them.

The corporation that owns the DMN owns nine newspapers, 20 television stations, and two regional cable television news channels.

Oh, and the CEO? Robert Decherd.

He sits on Bush's Homeland Security Media Security and Reliability Council.

Doesn't compute.

If you're an "illegal immigrant" you can't be a Texan.

Bush money and connections apparently can "buy" illegals that claim.
