As you know, my friend Bob Cavnar has become star of stage, screen, and teevee.  He’s been on Countdown more times than Keith has.

Visitors here have known him over  there in  link box as El Jefe Bob for several years now.

I jokingly told Bob that if he ever got on Rachel Maddow’s show, I’d change his name from El Jefe to El Grande Jefe.

It happened.

Yesterday afternoon he let me know that he was going to be on Rachel that night.  I damn near broke my neck getting home to see him.  TIVO just ain’t the same as  seeing it life.  It was worth the run.  Tell me the size of cajones you have to have to be a Texas oilman calling for a moratorium on deepwater drilling.  Big ones, that’s what.

So, in keeping with my promise – take a look at El Grande Jefe.

I keep trying to get him to steal me something from the green rooms that i can auction off to make money for Democrats in Fort Bend County.  So far, he has not been sufficiently intimidated by my threats of knowing the word pequeño.

Way to go, Bob.  You do Texas proud.
