Poor Gene Seaman - the guy just can't catch a break.
First he imitates a penis on the floor of the House; next, his attempt to slam Juan Garcia's military record backfires; and later he gives some poor staffer nightmares for at least a year. Then, as we all know, he gets busted using campaign funds to pay rent on property that his wife owns - all the while she claims two homestead exemptions.
Now he's got others piling on, forcing Seaman to scream for mercy. From the Corpus Christi Caller-Times:
Three local television stations have refused state Rep. Gene Seaman's request that they stop broadcasting a political commercial that he says makes false statements about him.All three stations, ABC affiliate KIII, NBC affiliate KRIS and CBS affiliate KZTV, said Wednesday they will continue to air the ad. Lawyer Mikal Watts, who paid for the ad, sent a letter to the three stations asking that they continue to air it, and disputing Seaman's statements that the ad contains falsehoods.
The ad, which started running this week during primetime, associates Seaman with former congressman Tom DeLay, who resigned in an ethics scandal. The commercial criticizes Seaman for using campaign funds to pay rent on an Austin condo owned by his wife, and for a homestead exemption granted on the condo when the couple's primary residence is in Corpus Christi.
