Just when you began to think that there were no Democrats in Texas, along comes our Attorney General Greg Abbott to explain why we keep some around.

In answer to US Attorney General Eric Holder’s charge that Texas redistricting discriminates against minorities, Abbott’s office explains …

DOJ’s accusations of racial discrimination are baseless. In 2011, both houses of the Texas Legislature were controlled by large Republican majorities, and their redistricting decisions were designed to increase the Republican Party’s electoral prospects at the expense of the Democrats. It is perfectly constitutional for a Republican-controlled legislature to make partisan districting decisions, even if there are incidental effects on minority voters who support Democratic candidates.

So, the redistricting discriminates against Democrats and, by gawd, it is not Greg Abbott’s fault that minority voters vote Democratic.

Nobody know what Greg Abbott did with the money his momma gave him to go to law school.

Thanks to Kathleen for the heads up.
