Maybe I Spoke Too Soon
I know I told you that Molly White, the Muslim-hating State Rep in Texas, was defeated in the primary.
I may have been wrong. Yesterday, Molly asked for a recount.
White, who lost by 118 votes out of the 19,060 cast in the Bell County district to former state Rep. Hugh Shine, must deposit $2,900 toward the recount and will ultimately be billed for its costs by the state Republican Party, according to county election officials.
So, I can’t tell you who to root for. A Republican who embarrasses us but is totally ineffective or a Republican who doesn’t embarrass us but might be effective.
I’m pulling for Molly. Texas has a high embarrassment threshold.
