There's an article about state lawmakers taking trips funded by lobbyists in today's paper. No one gives three shits about it, because everybody does it, no one is going to vote to change it and it's boring. But, Rep. Mike Krusee R-Williamson County is quoted:
You, sir, are an ass. This quote ought to be the main plank of the Republican Party's platform. People (the voters) may disagree with us, people may be be critical of our policy positions and initiatives but we will not be deterred from our stubbornness, blatant disregard for the will of the people we were voted to represent.
Basically, I'm entitled to do whatever the hell I want to do once I'm elected and the rest of y'all can just suck on it. I would suggest Rep. Krusee take a class in "class" and civic duty before he shoots off his big mouth again with such a doozy of a quote. [Statesman]
Heard about this- he was misquoted and apparently the report about the travel wasn't correct, either. Some embarrassing stuff for TPJ, as it looks like some of the "big travelers" were D members who had accepted WAY more in travel $. Selby's having to write a correction.

Shit like that is exactly why he nearly lost to someone with less name recognition and who spent far less money on her campaign... And, it's also why he won't be reelected next time.
Would it be faux pas to apply the title of "Docuhebag" in this case?
