Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Senator v. TXDOT

This is what we love.

Senate Transportation Committee Chairman John Carona paid an unusual visit to a meeting of the House Transportation Committee, where highway commission Chairman Ric Williamson was testifying about road projects around the state.

If you can't watch the video this pretty much sums it up: "Can I get an appointment? Can I expect an appointment? You're an arrogrant prick." HilARIous.

Ive never seen that before. How arrogant! Williams ought to resign based upon that one clip.

The truth WILL out. What a great clip.

Why didn't he just arrange to meet at a local gay bar and invite the press?

What a pompous ass. During last session's Appropriations Hearings, Ric Williamson didn't bother to show up. Pissed off lots of folks... Pitts put TxDOT on the back burner until RW could get his arse there. Jackass.
