I guess DeLay, Craddick, Enron, Bush (though not a Texan), Perry, Prop 2 and Kilgore killers aren't enough to make being a Texan embarrassing. Thanks, lege.

I'm not what you call politically astute but this seems a flagrant violation of the laws or whatever that House rule was at the end. That stupid lady's "we can't go to the bathroom, we can't eat" is the lamest excuse ever. Boo hoo. You ran of your own free will, you can deal with a little hunger. BOO Legislature, BOO!

It's called a bucket, Legislators. Use it.

I completely agree. I'm not pretending that lawmakers have an easy job, but what the hell do we put you in office or pay tax dollars for?

Unfortunately, I know for sure that other legislators would give the same lame excuses for this. My response is: Either deal with it and do your job--which I recall has something to do with democracy (you know, that hip, new thing they're all abuzz about in the Middle East)--or don't sign up for it.

TX voters can't be off the hook for this, though. Don't re-elect this lady, mofos; or vote for anyone who's gonna let crap like this happen.
