The coroner in the Wizard of Oz said something like that. It's our homage to the Technicolor world that is the Texas Lege today. Mary Denny dropped the house on the bill and skips off to who knows where with the other players:
Subcommittee Chair Bryan Hughes--The Scarecrow
Vice Chair Dwayne Bohac--The Cowardly Lion
Rep. "Doc" Anderson--The Tin Man
Speaker Craddick--The Wizard (D'uh)
Clean Up Texas Politics was the casting agent, here are the bios for our cast:
Chairwoman Mary Denny benefited from some $5,000 in corporate-funded mailers promoting her candidacy in her 2002 Republican primary.
Subcommittee Chair Bryan Hughes benefited from nearly $80,000 in corporate-funded sham issue ad mailers in his 2002 general election.
Vice Chair Dwayne Bohac benefited from around $80,000 of corporate-funded mailers in his 2002 election and another $20,000 in corporate money apparently laundered through the RNC.
Rep. "Doc" Anderson accepted corporate checks in his 2004 election and his opponent made it a campaign issue.
Speaker Craddick appointed these committee members despite their conflicts of interest.
Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.

You need to put Doc Anderson as the scarecrow...that man does not possess anything resembling a brain...
