Texas House Republicans Are Simply Idiots


I hope they actually get this passed. If they do, Democrats across the state will have the best issue to campaign on since Clayton Williams equated rape with inclement weather when he said, "as long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it."

That's what power does. It makes you think you can get away with anything.

Update: Speaking of good news for Democrats, check out Bush's Fox News poll numbers. In.The.Toilet.

Update 2: Kuff has more.

That "lie back" crack

Was actually first uttered by a once-beloved-now-reviled and/or ridiculed local NYC weatherman named Tex Antoine. I remember it well because I saw him say it, live on the air. It was one of those things where you say to yourself " Did I just hear what I think I heard? Nahhhhhhhh..." It made national headlines the next day and was used, for years, as the archetype of the foot-in-mouth/bad-taste/career-killer remark.

A little background about the on the Clayyton Williams connection here.

"Lord! What fools these Mortals be!"
