Oh how that picture makes me long to dope slap his smug face!

So I suppose he will now extend forgiveness to everyone ever charged by the police too?

Deadset. I had thought that now and again I had seen politicians who had mastered the art of looking smarmy. Beside this bloke they were beginners.

Is it just me, or is it "Cheese-Bro" ?? (It goes w/out sayin that I am dyin' here.) Regardless of all this, these Cheese-Bros need to be yanked back on a short leash, and required to answer one or two pertinent questions. Or three.

I so wish Molly Ivins and/or Ann Richards could've been president rather than either of the Bushes.

Hi. Writing from Texas. It’s not that Texas Voters don’t care about Paxton’s legal scandals. It’s that they don’t know about them. To quote Texas Monthly: If a scandal falls in the forest and nobody’s there to hear it, is it really a scandal? The following numbers are from before Paxton’s last election, but they probably haven’t changed much.

Percent of Texans who know about Paxton’s legal scandals: Low teens.

Percent of Texans who know what the scandals entail: Mid-single digits.

Percent of Texans who know and care: Didn’t say.

TM also spoke with a poli-sci prof at University of Houston who maintains a database of the effects of scandals on elections (votes, not opinions). He said that the only kind of scandal that moves the needle in any measurable way in Texas is a sex scandal (Paxton has one). Back in the day, a candidate could take a 3%-5% hit for a sex scandal. These days it’s more like a 1%-2% hit. Not enough to knock out a Republican in Texas.

At this point, even Illinois is looking at the Texas AG and going, "Wow- this fuckin' guy here!"

“You can’t impeach me! The people of Texas love that I’m corrupt AF.”

I have to admit, that doesn’t reflect well on the voters in Texas.

A large number of Texas voters only need to see that R next to the name.

Say what you will about Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — the guy has balls. On his chin.

There's a Buffy quote for everything.

Buffy: "Hey Ken, wanna see my impression of Gandhi?" [whacks Ken with club]

Chantrelle/Lisa: "Gandhi?"

Buffy: "Well you know, he was really pissed off."

And that concludes season 3 episode 1: Buffy meets the AG.

The sequel "Brady and Giglio" was not as bad as the first movie, when it was just Giglio.

I read that she wouldn't recuse, but they somehow have disqualified her from participating.
