George Rodrigue Named Editor of Cleveland Plain Dealer

A news-watching FrontBurnervian tells me that I am remiss in not pointing to the news that George Rodrigue, the former DMN managing editor who resigned in late September to take a gig at WFAA, has now resigned again, this time to become the editor of the Plain Dealer. I am no longer remiss. It’s hard to imagine — after three Pulitzers and 30 years at the DMN — how much stuff Rodrigue had to move out of his office when he left the paper. I wonder if he had to use one of those PODS. After only three months at WFAA, though, I bet he was able to carry it all out to his car in one trip, possibly without even having to use a box. Maybe just his pockets. Anyway, we wish him and his wife, Wendy, a prosperous and productive new life in Cleveland. Safe travels, guys.
