Wingnut Talkshow: Lobbyist Ben BARNES Cutting Self off from TX Repukes
They (wingnut scavengers) don't even bother to HIDE their scoundrelism.

My local radio wingnut talkshow host is saying that (Dem, former House Speaker, former LT Gov) Ben BARNES, a lobbyist, "shot himself in the foot" by outing his role in getting Shrub into the TANG "to collect (political) chits", then later, when Shrub was a sitting governor, cashing in the chits for lucrative state contracts.

Then he capped this by saying that Texas is top-to-bottom in Repuke hands, governmentally speaking, and that the Repuke powers-that-be will not be routing juicy deals in BARNES's direction anymore.

Actually, Texas Dem honchos were crucial in giving Shrub a leg up (Bob BULLOCK). Wish they had ol'boyed some worthy Dems instead.

1. Let them squeak
I would not crow so loudly at the results of the redistricting coup de'etat that Tom DeLay pulled off. There is so much repressed rage just simmering under the surface that its just a matter of time before it unravels - this is especially true at the grass roots levels.

Whatever this dimwit says, he can not disprove Barene's statements.

I didn't like Ben Barnes either, but maybe he can do something useful once and a while. The Chimp still got preferencial treatment.
