Wong song, ding dong

Martha Wong and Ellen Cohen debated last night at Rice University in Houston. Martha let out some of her trademark twisted logic. A few highlights:

Martha says she thinks Roe v Wade should be left right where it is. Then she says "abortion should be legal when the woman's health is in danger, in the case of incest or rape. " Uhm, pick one. Do you think she even knows what Roe v. Wade is?
It would appear that M didn't know we have to keep the drinking age at 21 or lose fed highway funds. The Libertarian boy and Ellen pointed that out and then M said "yes, that's right"
She claims that the TransTX Corridor is free to the state. That the company is paying us $2 million. It's only costing $2 million dollars? Then why is everyone so pissy about it then?

Houston, please continue to send Martha Wong to Austin. PinkDome only has 21 posts in the past year where we skewer her. We know that we can do better than that if just given the chance.

She was just a little confused...The two million is what they are planning to spend on buying the land.

Heck of deal to be able to buy all of the land of $2 million.

You've had, like, four years to skewer her, and we've had to put up with her that entire time. Someone else needs to make the sacrifice. Maybe after November, Florida can send Kitty Harris our way.

Actually maybe she meant 2 billion. But she acted as if the whole thing was a big money maker to the citizens. Of course it will only cost you about $60 bucks in tolls to drive on it and it will cost truckers over $200 in tolls. So you see Martha, it isn't FREE. Where the state used to provide us roads to travel on, we would now have to pay to use the state roads.

The only other time I have paid that much to travel on a road between two major cities was in the country we are becoming more and more like.....Mexico. Yes folks the wealthy in Mexico can travel on a beautiful highway between Mexico City and Acapulco....for about $65. The rest of the great unwashed (and the little farms they owned and the little towns they live in) can just blow away in the wind. That beautiful toll road in Mexico was a similar boondogle with plenty of mordida for the politicians there.
Sound familiar?

She is SO the dumb semi-aged rich asian woman who can't drive.
