There’s breaking news in Texas that has all of us snickering.

Our former Lt. Governor Republican David Dewhurst just got beat up by his 40 year old “live-in”girlfriend.  She whacked him good.  She has been charged with injury to an elderly person.

From the DA’s Office: Caron is accused of kicking Dewhurst, 74, in the ribs during an argument on May 13. Dewhurst told police she left their home but came back on May 17 and kicked him in the ribs again. He said Caron also hit him with a pot, scratched him and bit him. Dewhurst went to the doctor and X-rays confirmed he had two broken ribs.

She was some kind of hacked-off.  Honey, that old man wasn’t dying fast enough to suit her.  It looks like she was going to visit him weekly and break another rib.

The couple in happier times.
