Dan Patrick, hater — and media and GOP missing issues

The Steve Toth and Chris Paddie feuds are both funny, but there's side issues the Trib misses in the former case.

The biggie? Given that Dade Phelan's predecessor as Speaker, Dennis Bonnen, was taken down by a leaked private recording:

Why isn't the fact that Toth's words that got Patrick pissed also came from a leaked private recording drawing more airplay from Texas media?

Ditto on why isn't there intra-GOP pushback, whether among today's House members (Toth folded like a cheap suit) or bloggers, activists etc. who aren't wingnuts-squared like Luke Macias?

And, why isn't anybody, whether wingnut-squared or not, attacking the leaking concept in general?

Danny Boy might have Rethuglicans that cowed, but where's the Trib? And, has Danny Boy cowered the leaker, too? After all, with Bonnen, it was Mucus, self-revealed quickly. Texas Scorecard, from what I see, is mum so far about exactly what this meeting was.
