And Greg Abbott’s Butt
You’ve heard about the redistricting mess in Texas. Republicans want an entire Republican rich white boy legislature and congress. It’s been a tough fight but we have better lawyers than they do, so we ain’t waving a white flag.
Okay, so to shock and awe everybody, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced early this afternoon that “an agreement has been reached with some parties regarding the ongoing redistricting legal fight.”
Really? You mean it finally over and we can have an election? Well, that’s some dandy news.
Not so quick, pardner.
Come to find out, the “some parties” appear to be Greg Abbott, a very small group of conservative Hispanics, Greg Abbott’s butt, some of Greg Abbott’s imaginary friends, and a drunk guy passed out in front of the Baptist Church in Sanger, Texas, claiming to be Randy Travis.
Today was the deadline to reach an agreement in order to have an April 3rd primary and Abbott played games. With his butt. He announced an agreement with one small group and said to Texas voters, “Come and get it!”
When we got there, there was a screwing awaiting us.
Left out of the agreement was (LULAC), the NAACP, the entire Democratic Party, the Gonzales Plaintiffs and the Quesda/Veasey Plaintiffs. The Mexican American Legislative Caucus also opposes the Abbott’s plan.
Faster than a bullet with legs, the San Antonio three judge panel (two of who were appointed by Republicans) told the parties to keep negotiating, which means they were not impressed with Greg Abbott’s hiney, either.
One day when I’ve had a little more to drink, I’m gonna tell you all about a punk named Congressman Henry Goddam Cuellar, a Democrat who sells out Hispanics. He aligned himself with Tom Delay during the last redistricting. Greg Abbott now holds his leash. He calls himself a Blue Dog Democrat, but only because there is no official Worthless Jerk Idiot Damn Twit Dog Democrat caucus. I’m serious as a heart attack.

I’m very familiar with Henry Goddam Cuellar. We call him a Rolex Mexican. He’s got a rolex so he doesn’t have to be a Mexican any more. Clarence Thomas speaking Spanish. To say that H. C. is a dog of any color is an insult to dogs everywhere.
1I don’t know the persons involved (all of ‘em, any of ‘em put in front of me), thank Goddess. I lived in Tex-ass (Houston, it had a problem) for all of 16 months. So very grateful to be back on my island (Manhattan), watching this from afar. Although, truth be told, the Republicans in our state Senate aren’t much better. The Governor (Cuomo the 2nd) had to threaten a veto of their plans for gerrymandering. They were sent back to keep working on it. Some of their proposed districts looked like the Alaska maps I worked on as a draftsman in 1972 (or was it ‘73?).
2Wow, your state’s attorney general must be taking lessons from our Sheriff Arpaio regarding press relations. This reminds of me Sheriff Arpaio sending out a press release to say he didn’t want to give Occupy Phoenix any publicity.

3Some rumors can be heard that H.C. is one of Rick’s party boys.
4Abbott is setting up a battle between the Hispanic Americans and the African Americans to fight over the table scraps from the Republican’s table.
But since their motives are so clear, only blind fools like H. GD. Cuellar are distracted by the ruse.
The Republicans are losing this battle, not only by playing hateful games like this, but also by pissing off two large minorities. They are paving the road to perdition and I am putting up “one way” signs.
5What Cindy D. said, plus he does this while being in the safest Democratic district in the history of politics.
6I would say more but, Juanita would have to bleep me.
Juanita, I’m beginning to believe that the entire country would benefit ……. more…… from Texas NOT having a say….. in who runs for President.
Good Grief!
7I, too, am familiar with Henry. Unfortunately, I am in his district. I send him emails all the time because he actually BRAGS about being a blue dog in his bulletins to his constituents. Why doesn’t somebody run against him?
8I hope someone will forward this post, including comments, to Henry. (Would do it myself but don’t know how.)
Yep. It stinks. Why don’t we just make boundaries and have our own country? I mean TexaS has done it six times before.
