| The powerful one |
1. Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm (a no-brainer choice)
2. Dallas County Commissioner John Wylie Price
3. Dallas Mayor-elect Mike Rawlins
4. DISD interim superintendent Alan King (can an interim be all that powerful?)
5. State senators John Carona and Royce West
6. Dallas Police Chief David Brown
7. Former President George W. Bush
8. Dallas County GOP Chairman Wade Emmert
9. Channel 8 reporter Brett Shipp
10. Dallas Observer writer/reporter Robert Wilonsky
I can argue the merits of 7-10. How is Bush all that powerful in Dallas right now? He’s a tourist attraction but so is NorthPark. Since Dallas and Dallas County are no resoundingly blue, how can we have a red party chairman up there? What makes Brett Shipp all that powerful? And while I have all the respect in the world for the great Robert (Does he ever take a day off?) Wilonsky, I’m not sure he could organize a parade attracting 250,000 spectators and then whip out his checkbook to cover te $340,947 cost, saying “I got off cheap.” As usual, however, Wilsonky does a damn fine job of writing about it.

Q: What was that sucking sound you heard after Mike Rawlings got elected?
A: Mary Suhm breathing a giant sigh of relief that her old nemesis, the Police Commissioner, was not going to be her boss.
She has been canonized by so many, and yet she has the respect of so few of her current and former subordinates. Bret Shipp should do an expose on her!
