Care to give us a picture of Tommy Boy and Little Dick's reaction to this news?

National Democratic leaders bowed out of the Texas convention later this month amid concerns that they could hamper the Democratic effort in Republican President Bush's home state.

"It was caused by all the flak -- should they come, should they not come," said Jesus "Chuy" Reyes, who is active in the political operation for his brother, U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt and the other national Democrats didn't want their presence in Bush's home state to "cause any problems for anyone," Chuy Reyes was quoted saying in the Times. "They want to support the Democratic ticket. They want to make sure that Tony Sanchez wins in Texas."

The best that they can do to serve their party is to stay home. Funny thing is, the best thing that they can do to serve their country is to stay home!

P.S. Maybe we'll name a couple of bombs after them ala "Fat Man and Little Boy"!
