READER PATRICK THOMAS is unhappy with my post on the new Oracle scandal, below:

You comments regarding another Oracle scandal in “Florida” could use tightening up. The “Florida” scandal is, according to the article, a “Miami-Dade” scandal.

Your phrasing conflates Gov. Bush of Florida with Gov. Davis of Califronia, insinuating state procurement payola, and I saw no mention in the article of involvement by the Florida Republican or members of his administration.

He’s right. Sorry, but it just didn’t occur to me that people would read it that way.
