Over at the Texas Republican Party headquarters the only sound you hear is a spoon banging on a high chair tray, and an occasional waaaa…waaaaa.

Texas Republicans are whining that they aren’t getting preferential treatment at the Republican National Convention.   They are peeved that they have been “relegated to “the boonies” at a remote golf resort.”  Yeah, you read that right – the boonies at a golf resort.

“If I weren’t state chairman, if I were a delegate, I probably wouldn’t go,” state GOP leader Steve Munisteri said of the late-August presidential nominating event.

Uh, Steve, Dude, I think that’s what they were shooting for.

After all, you are the party of —

And Texas Republicans, you’ll be delighted to know, are not near as stoopid as they act.  They have one thing semi-figured out:

Munisteri said the state’s political donors, volunteers and activists are being taken for granted. Others suspect Rick Perry’s failed presidential bid — and attacks on eventual nominee Mitt Romney — are bringing punishment upon the Texas GOP.

Ya think?  Ya think Mr. Oops might have something to do with it?

In truth, it was the perfect storm.  National Republicans don’t want people remembering the Bushes, Rick Perry or that Texas Republicans wrote the craziest damn platform ever put on paper, even if it is written in crayon.  And then there’s that whole having to frisk the Texas delegation at the door for guns.  That’s real time consuming.

You’ll want to know that Texas Democrats are only 15 miles away from the convention site in Charlotte. They aren’t whining.  They are proud of their Presidential candidate and figure that just being there is important enough.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the Toon and Mary for the story.
