"cover his [rear]"

My outrage at WMATA's "dear fellow rider" letters is not unique. Metro sent over 120 managers to 48 stations to distribute the letters on Tuesday evening. The letter is a weak rebuttal to a Washington Post series that criticized mismanagement in the transit system.

In the Post today: "Ann Plamondon, an economist for the Department of Justice, said she was angered by the flier she was handed at Archives-Navy Memorial Station on Tuesday evening. 'This is exactly what's wrong with Richard White,' she said. 'He diverts resources to cover his [rear] with that sort of stuff. And then thousands of them are all over the platform because there are no trash barrel in the stations.'"
