Put Clark out to pasture

Wed., Feb. 22, 2012

Accolades to Karen Kearney (“Clark is bad for city,” Feb. 11) on the subject matter. Doug Clark is a one-trick pony and it is time The Spokesman-Review turned him and his negative nagging out to pasture. All he seems to do is use his bully pulpit to denigrate this community, and the individuals who try to serve and make this a better place to live.

He acts like a carrion crow consuming tragedy and spewing dissent. Perhaps he would be happier in Kandahar or Detroit.

God knows he does nothing of value to enhance the literary content of your paper or the reputation of Spokane.

He is a legend in his own mind, but then again he has proven to be mindless.
