'You'd better protect your man parts or I will take them into custody'

The Perry case is an indictment of Texas’s culture of corruption. Rick Perry, arguably the most successful American governor in a generation, is in forced retirement. Rosemary Lehmberg, the vodka-swilling, retribution-promising, drunk-driving human dumpster fire who indicted Governor Perry for exercising the ordinary powers of his office — vetoing funding for her office — remains in power. That, in short, is what is wrong with Texas — and the country.
Puff Daddy, or whatever his name is now, has a friend in Rosemary Lehmberg. The hip-hop impresario is an endorser of Cîroc vodka, and Lehmberg, who in her role at the Travis County prosecutor’s office oversees political crimes statewide, went through about 25 gallons of the stuff — 74 bottles — in the course of a year. She had one of those bottles in her car when she was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. She was convicted of the crime and went to jail. Texas being Texas, she is not the first prosecutor to have been carted off to the pokey in shackles; truth be told, the state hasn’t imprisoned nearly as many of its prosecutors as it should. Prosecutors in my hometown, Lubbock, collaborated for years with a wildly unethical coroner who was faking evidence in murder cases and who was so addlepated that he once misplaced an entire human head.

Wasn’t Delay brought up and his career ruined by false charges, too? Was it the same buch?
Texas is a full of good people, but it isn’t paradise either. Whenever there is a thread that posts news of corruption in New England or the Mid-Atlantic states, you get the responses that mock Americans who don’t live in the Deep South or Texas. There is no paradise this side of God’s Kingdom. And what is going on in Texas is a political circus of corruption the likes of which makes my jaw drop.
Texas is not guilty. It’s Austin-style liberals are.
Having lived all bu 9 years of my life in Texas, I disagree with your opinion on the level of corruption here. Texas politics and the associated relationships with politicians are babes in the woods compared to what goes on in Chicago, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and many other points East.
Is it paradise here? No, but I would rather be here than there. Here I can start a business and succeed or fail without having to pay ‘protection’ money to survive.
Sometimes I misplace my glasses, but a human head is much larger.
Texas Values on display - once again!
No, Texas good-ol’-boy politics on display - like so many other places. Texas values are strong, independent family- and-community-based. Over-generalize much?
Since Texans have no problem with over-generalizing much about my home town, I think you guys can put up with a little ribbing before taking to the Alamo. Texans are exceedingly thin-skinned.
more like Satan’s values.
When Austin elite do not hurt their own, they are forgiving bleeding heart liberals.
So amazing as she belittled police and all public citizens around her that evening, having to be restrained and still spit on the jail staff! She’s above the law, knows it and we will probably endure her evil deeds again.
II Chronicles 7:14 ....our only way to see God’s plan.
Perhaps if the ribbing were a bit more clearly kidding, we wouldn’t take offense. We can laugh at ourselves quite well.
I’m waiting for that ‘laugh at ourselves’ stuff. Haven’t see it here in over a decade.
Same county and politics in uber liberal Austin. The DA that has a vendetta against DeLay was Ronnie Earle.
There’s no comparison between Texas and your home town when it comes to conservative principles I’m sorry you have to defend one of the most liberal bastions in the country but that’s not the fault of Texans You can blame it on your fellow New Yorkers.
