Time again for OSIN's Clere column boomerang.

If Rep. Clere were to be defeated in 2012 (I believe this to be highly unlikely, by the way) would his column return to him, or is it tagged to the job he holds? Does anyone know an Alabama retiree I might ask?
CLERE: My column is going away, but I am not

... Starting in April, after the Tribune and Evening News combined, my column was cut back to a bi-weekly publication, and I was told the policy the Evening News had followed would now apply to the merged paper: My column would cease publication as soon as I were to hold a fundraiser, announce my intention to run for re-election or file to run.

I’m getting ready to schedule a fundraiser, so this will be my last column — for awhile, at least. It’s No. 120.

The policy is especially problematic when it comes to a two-year term. I won’t be able to write a regular column for more than half of my term ...
