We have a Republican guy running against my incumbent county commissioner, Richard Morrison. Richard is a good guy, a Democrat, and deserves to be re-elected.
The Republican is Vincent Morales, the former major of Rosenberg. Vincent is not Hispanic and I saw him jump down someone’s throat for suggesting he was. Vincent is Italian and don’t you forget it.
In Texas, county commissioner is a very powerful position and the most easily corruptible. There are 5 county commissioners who decide how every tax dollar is spent and who gets the contracts. Kickbacks are more common than fire ants.
So, Morales was plenty proud of the fact that George P. Bush was coming to Rosenberg to fundraise for him.
The event was what you might call, “Humm … sure is quiet in here.”
Pictures? Hell yeah, I have pictures.
And here’s George P Bush —
If you’re wondering where the roaring crowd was …
I imagine the snacks didn’t have much of a chance.
Here’s Vincent and George. They must have been exhausted from shaking all those hands.
Remember that time George P. complained that he was “stuck in Texas”? He wasn’t kidding, y’all.
