I have relatives on my wife's side of the family that are pretty high up in Texas Republican politics. They have always laughted at me when I described dirty politics in Washington State. They have told me that Texas Politics use the NBA foul rule, "No autopsy, no foul".

At first when I listed to talk radio yesterday about Barnes and how he had said under oath that no one in the Bush family had pressured him to get Bush into the Texas Air National Guard and now he was saying he lied under oath and now understood things differently, red flags went up.

If a daughter is now saying her dad is a liar, I guess it says a lot about Texas Politics.

I am sure some are saying that "its just politics, don't take it seriously." I guess CBS 60 Minutes needs to reflect on Stephen Glass and also on the New York Times and do some introspection on honest journalism.

Maybe the NY Times could sent Jason Blair over to give Dan a remedial course on fact checking. ;~)))

Correction: ...it says a lot about Texas Democrats.

Fortunately, outside of a few fenced political preserves, there aren't many of them left.
