As a Texan, I'm embarrassed to associate Ron Paul with Texas.
Speaking of Texans, this one is priceless:
Syndicated columnist Mona Charen dubbed Paul a kook, saying that although he shouldnt be president, [h]e might make a dandy new leader for the Branch Davidians.
FWIW, I know Texas like the back of my hand, and the oddest Texans I ever met were in Abilene.
