Ooh! Pick me! I know the answer!

By Jim Dallas

Noticed on Air America's "Morning Sedition" blog:

U.S. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) will tell us about his inauguration, and fill us in on how a Democrat got elected in the ultimate red state!

Maybe because he represents liberal urban precincts in Houston?

Oh, let us go all the way with this . . . he was elected in a district that most of his congressional colleagues opposed creating, because it was part of a GOP gerrymander. And he probably cried to high heavan about the injustice of reshaping Chris Bell's district . . .

See, this is what I mean, say you got elected as a Democrat in Texas and everyone is in awe... Hell, you can gerrymander Idaho or Utah to give you a Democrat... Maybe him and Martin Frost get their message from the same source.
