Seems Senator Madla is upset about this whole new-fangled technology...the camcorder. Oh, and then the audacity of political blogs to post the video where he said, "When I get to the state Capitol, I lock the Democratic Party in my trunk."
Now that the San Antonio Express-News picks it up it'll get even bigger play in his district. What a moron. The SAX-N should totally link to our most favorite photo of Madla ever. You know and love it, we present again...

So Madla is mad because they actually published something he said that wasn't from a press release. Poor baby.... Maybe he should stop kissing the rear ends of Republicans.
Being mad about the broadcasting of one's public statement is like killing one's parents and then pleading for mercy as an orphan. Makes me sick...
Uresti makes a good point "If (Gov. Rick) Perry said, 'I lock the Republican Party in the trunk of my car,' he wouldn't be re-elected by the Republican Party,"
This article is great. All Madla does is shout "dirty politics" without ever addressing his actual statement.
"I think it demonstrates the kind of campaign my opponent is waging," Madla said.
What's that, Madla, a campaign where he uses an extremely fucking idiotic statement you said? A smart campaign?
The article moves the video and his statement off of the blogs and into the mainstream press. Nice job, Madla. You sure nipped this one in the bud.
Re: Van de Putte's quote, Madla must lock his heart in his trunk, too.
Old.
Yeah Madla is pretty old. Have you seen his tv ad yet? Can they not afford make up or a little bit of botox over there?
I just can't get enough of that pic. =)
