Best and Worst Legislator Web Sites

Ok, after we took at look at that hideous Linda Harper-Brown web site we found Diane Patrick's hideosity. So...that does it. We're on the hunt. Send us the links to legislative web sites and we're going to do site evaluations on all the ones we receive.

We'll give awards for the best legislative website. (If you'd like to sponsor an award, let me know) and we'll give awards for the worst crap ever put on the Internet, too.

Here's a few examples of 'good' sites:
Speaker Tom Craddick

Here's a few more bad ones:
Patrick Rose (Your photos are not sized correctly, and the page width is not dynamic)
Garnet Coleman (Yipes! That header will give me nightmares...and those colors! Ugh)

I checked out Myra Crownover's site, but it was just a single picture of a monkey playing with it's own shit. Weird.

Also, looking at Rose's site, when did Perry create a clone? I got this really weird vibe looking at those pics that they reminded me of the Perry A&M leather boot or George Strait wannabe photos. Creepy.

The best website for a political whore who is owned by a San Antonio SugarDaddy...

But seriously...for a state Rep. it is clean and well designed, but that is what you get when you roll with Daddy Leininger.

Patty Rose is 'independent'? When did CradDICK cut his leash?

Sen. Watson has a great site... http://www.kirkwatson.com/

Sen. Brimer... although his isn't THAT bad... his picture reminds me of a glamor shot. Is it just me?

Rep. Hilderbran looks normal in his website. They don't mention he's an arrogant a-hole.
