These Boots Were Made For Walking

A huge chunk of the House staged a walkout about an hour ago in protest of Tom Craddick sucking so much. Apparently the group marched out to applause and cheers, then mingled outside on the third floor, not really sure what to do next. When the insurgents (stupid name) returned back into the chamber after adjournment to collect their personal belongings, the Statesman says that finger pointing and loud arguments ensued. Some bills died and some members were pissed, but it was an excellent way to end a turbulent past few days.

I'm sure that marks the end of the session for the House, as it's highly doubtful they'll even have a quorum tomorrow.

Sine die!

These people all look extremely foolish, if they wanted to get rid of Craddick they should have done if before session, what a bunch of pussies.

I hate Craddick yet now there is a part of me that would love to see him come back and retain his speakership just to stick it up everyone's ass. Mainly because they are acting so fucking childish.

If these guys wanted to make a stand they should have done it along time ago.
