Look out, Fourth Estate colleagues: There's a new jour- nalist in town. That town is Carson City and his name is Bob Beers, the senator not the assemblyman, the man who wanted to be governor not the man who won accidentally. Beers has announced that he will be sending dispatches from the capital, his own "reports on the Legislature," as he announced Tuesday. You can be sure that Beers, who drove Gov. Kenny Guinn crazy in 2003, with his own Web site devoted to the budget, will not provide straight reporting. It will be tinged with his special brand of conservatism and his irrepressible humor. It's a very smart move by the senator, whether it's intended to inform or to be part of a permanent campaign. Or, perhaps, both.
