EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O I can't wait for her to open that gapping hole in the middle of her face....and put her foot straight in it.

Um, yeah. I love Senfronia, but good luck getting any R's to sign her cards - and even all the D's for that matter. The next Speaker is going to have to be a more moderate R, not a super-D.

Anyone read her statement?

What cheese dick crap.

Shamu is clearly on drugs if she thinks she has a chance at speaker.

Hasn't she pledged to Craddick?

Lrts see how fast Flores, Luna and Edwards sign for Cracker Cradick

wonk, quit being such an ass. really.

either that, or show us your six-pack.

She's rounding up votes for Pitts

Or Wonk, quit being a dumbass. Captain obvious, of course she doesn't stand a chance and she knows that. What she is doing is something most of you republicans know nothing about -- its called standing up for principles.

It is truly a sign of your character that you people continue to support a speaker who has such a disdain for government and the people it works for.

No Craddick fan here. Between the two, Senfronia hands down. But it won't be between the two. She's out.

Anybody know if more than one second is required to consider a motion to vacate the chair?

She is just greasing the skids for a moderate R to leap into the Speaker race. She can get all the pledges she can then assure their delivery to that next person. If the moderate R knows only another 20 or so R pledges need to be rounded up, he (or she) would be more likely to jump in.

And, by the way, this has nothing to do with principles. This is Senfronia doing her typical grandstanding routine. She's quickly becoming known outside the limited circle of politicos--this can only help. Given that she has limited opportunities to pass important legislation, this is one of the few options left to her. Nothing wrong with that--just don't kid yourselves about her high-mindedness.

D in R--

I ask because I'm honestly curious--how can she make that sort of assurance? It seems to me that, sure, the Rs might want a change, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Senfronia's pledges would necessarily want Senfronia's moderate R of choice.

Good grief...don't you recognize that Senfronia is YOUR Carole what-ever-her-name-is-this-week?

Known for "her ability to work across the aisle"? She hates, and I mean hates in the literal sense, Republicans. The very last thing she is known for is her ability to work across the aisle.

Yeah No kidding. How did you come up with that, PD?

Well first, who can get along with assholes like Tom Craddick. But, a misnomer is to think that Senfronia doesn't work with R's. Quit labeling her as someone that's just completely unaware or incapable. You may not like her, you may think she's a loudmouth, but there are some great qualities about her that deserve some respect and courtesy.

So, suck my left nut.

Yowzer!

You are absolutely right PD there are some great qualites about her.

For example if theres just a few pieces of fried shrimp left at the buffet. You can count on a very capable and aware Shamu to finish it off.

Thompson passed hate crimes with Warren Chisum's support (R-Pampa) & 10 other Rs. Her joint author on contraceptive parity in inusrance was Arlene Wohlgemuth (R-Burleson). Her joint author on stem cell research & pay equity was Peggy Hamric (R-Houston). Her joint author on numerous family support bills was Toby Goodman (R-Ft Worth) and the Senate sponsor was Chris Harris (R-Arlington). Her racial profiling ban was passed with the support of former sheriff and prosecutor Terry Keel (R-Austin).

Don't think she is unaware or incapable, quite the contrary. Just have seen her up close enough to know that working across the aisle is nto a descriptor that would ever leap to mind.

Whether she can bring together D's and R's or not, or whether she has a chance in the speaker's race, I don't have a clue. I do know that she could liven up those long boring nights sitting in the House Gallery which, during the Craddick reign, have been a certain kinda Hell I never imagined.

Who is this Wonk idiot? I mean come on! Cheese dick crap? that sounds like an educated statement. I gaurantee 'Wonk' has a small one and is a card caring member of the KKK. Shamu? You try having three children and we'll see how you look when you are her age!

Better question is who the fuck are you?

D'uh...he's a rich hot staffer!
