If you ask Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) to

list her achievements in the U. S. Senate over the past

 20 years, she is likely to dismiss your query as just

another 'gotcha question'. 

Talking Weasel

"You must find it very heartwarming, Senator Hutchison,

to learn that 30% of the Republicans in Texas voted to

promote you to the office of governor."

"Do you know what Fearguth had in mind, Kay, when he

captioned this picture, 'Do Not Induce Vomiting'?"

"Let us not forget the Eleventh Commandment, Rick:
'Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican'."

"Or the Twelfth, Kay: 'The Governor of Texas is exempt
from the Eleventh Commandment'."

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) will be

running against Governor Rick Perry (R-TX)

next year for the Republican gubernatorial

nomination. Governor Perry originally

refused to accept any of the stimulus

money appropriated by Congress. Now

he's begging for a $170 million loan to

help Texas pay unemployment insurance

claims. That's pretty funny. What's even

funnier is that Ms. Hutchison is criticizing

Governor Perry for refusing to accept the

stimulus money, even though she herself

voted against the stimulus bill in the Senate.

Perry and Hutchison: they make John

Cornyn look good.

Senator Hutchison felt like the third wheel

at the Republican Policy Lunch with Senator

Frist and Lady Thatcher.
