Kay Sheads a Tear
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
It must be bad when the Texas lege, busy doing nothing, get's called out by the state GOP Mamma, Kay Bailey Hutchison.
The failure of Texas lawmakers to agree on school and tax reform disappoints U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, who backed out of the governor’s race earlier this summer to remove politics from the public education debate, she said today.
“Of course I’m disappointed, as every Texan is, that we are not fully funding our schools and that we are not (lowering) these onerous property taxes on many of our citizens,” she said after speaking to the Texas Association of Broadcasters.
Onerous. That's certainly our word of the day. But remember, she backed out of running for Guv because she cares, really cares about Texas.
“I thought when I bowed out of the governor’s race that it would take the politics out of the Legislature. That’s one of the reasons why I announced early,” she said. “I really thought that would help. I see no change, and I’m disappointed."
So are we KBH. So are we.

When I was in DC I went to KBH's senate office. It was like walking into the lion's den. The staff was fairly nice and they offered a tour, I declined, but stayed around. I was there until they asked why I was in DC and then pretty much ended the conversation when I said it was for CDA.
I wish she would have ran for governor- if she would have won, at least I could semi-respect our governor. Word has it though that she has been tapped for VP in 2008. Could it be??
