Bush's "hometown" paper backs Dems

The hometown paper in Crawford, Texas (yes, that Crawford), had this to say:

The Iconoclast of the Week is New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who assigned a state trooper to protect the protesting Texas legislators from bounty hunters.

The Rightist lunatics who have taken over the state legislature were reportedly planning to hire gun thugs to go to New Mexico and bring back the 11 Texas legislators who fled the state to stop lying Texas Gov. Rick “Tricky Ricky” Perry’s illegal gerrymandering scheme.

Perry’s plan has wasted $3 million of taxpayers’ money in hopes that Perry’s Rightist party hacks won’t have to bother campaigning and explaining these kinds of Fascist tactics.

Richardson pointed out that police officers in New Mexico take a dim view of kidnapping, and gave the Texans police protection.

Charles Kuffner has more of the latest on the Texas redistricting battle over at the Political State Report.
