Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Feb 28
They'll let anybody be a lawyer in this town
State Rep. Robert Talton, a Pasadena Republican and an attorney (PinkDome adds: also...homophobic ass hat), is sponsoring H.B. 826, which would require the Texas Supreme Court to adopt rules that would allow attorneys whose law degrees are based on study by correspondence to take the Texas exam, if they've passed another state's bar exam and are licensed to practice law in another state. Under Talton's bill, the distance-learning law school graduates would be admitted to practice law in Texas if they pass this state's bar exam.

Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick referred Talton's bill to the House Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee on Feb. 10.

The bill is a retread of legislation that Talton
(Pinkdome adds: don't forget...homophobic ass hat), a solo practitioner,(Of course he's a solo practitioner..have you seen him?) sponsored two years ago to allow Sugarland Republican Rep. Charlie Howard's daughter, Julie Drenner, and other graduates of the Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy, a distance-learning law school based in Fresno, Calif., to take the bar exam in Texas. (emphasis added...just so you catch the bullshit part)

It's nice to know people in the right place ain't it Julie? We tried correspondence school one time, too. But, decided TV Repairman just wasn't our calling.

Oh...and did we mention we don't care for Talton? Cause..uhm..we don't.
