TRMPAC's treasurer, Bill Ceverha, has settled his case with the Democrats and paid them $65,000 as part of a settlement. Whoops! This made me laugh this morning and laughing while nursing a hangover creates a very sharp pain between the eyes. It's the same pain I get when I talk to a stupid person, y'all know what I'm talking about?

This whole TRMPAC thing is just annoying. Now that Tom's been totally destroyed the fun is taken out of it for me. I mean, sure, the speculations that Tom Craddick might get roped into this makes for fun party conversation, but really it's just a sad exposure of the truth that politics is dirty and full of bullshit. Do you know how hard it is to maintain that facade of sincerity and idealism and "I work in politics because my sense of civic duty" is to keep up when you have someone stuffing wads of cash in your underwear late at night while you do tequila shots with a hooker on your arm and...oh sorry, y'all don't need to hear what I was doing last night. This is about the sham of TRMPAC, not me.
