The good news is that it looks like Crazy Leo Berman is not going to run for re-election to the Texas House.  That’s really, really good.

The bad news is that Republicans have found an equally crazy younger man to take his place.

Naval Reserve Lt. Cmdr. Matt Schaefer, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn’s East Texas regional director, will announce his run for District 6 seat occupied by state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, at 1:30 p.m. today at Donnybrook Automotive, 401 Troup Highway in Tyler.

Schaefer, 35, said he believes his life experiences, from West Texas peanut fields to Afghanistan, will translate into effective representation for East Texas.

Oh Lord, help us.

Honey, his wife is the Interim Director of the Tyler Junior College Apache Belles,  (Fair warning:  mute your sound before you click that clink, but do click that link.) which is a birthing room for future Miss Texas candidates.  The two met at Green Acres Baptist Church.  So, you figure he’s not real big on that women’s lib stuff.  I used to say that God didn’t give me a daughter because she’d grow up to be an Apache Belle just to spite me and I’d have to disown her.

Y’all, we need to find out where they are harvesting these bozos and stop them.
