For someone who is of the belief that all politicians must be at least a little bit arrogant, I am always impressed by the lawmakers who thoughtfully take in the criticism.
That is what Kirk Watson did today in his Watson Wire. He tells an ambiguous story that shows a flaw in his abilities, and he realizes that people sometimes ask this question of him: "Oh, my. This guy is out there making laws I have to live under?"
And he comes to this appropriate conclusion:
The truth is, it's that time in the legislative session when lots of people are probably asking that sort of question about the folks who are making the laws, or trying to.
And another truth is, some folks seem to provide more reasons to ask that question than others.
Can anyone say Rick Perry? David Dewhurst? Todd Smith? These are just a few possibilities...
