Meanwhile, in Texas...
Hypocritical asshat repug cowards pout, have tantrum, run away.
Democratic lawmakers, accustomed to being outnumbered or out of state, suddenly showed up Sunday as a majority in the Texas House.
Outnumbering the Republicans 12-2, the Democrats tried to turn a routine adjournment into a coup. They attempted to amend the motion to adjourn for the day and end the third special session over congressional redistricting.
But one of the two Republicans, Speaker Tom Craddick, would have none of it.
He gaveled the House to adjournment until Wednesday as the Democrats yelled their objections. The speaker then stormed off the House floor.
"He called us Chicken D's," said Rep. Rick Noriega, recalling Craddick's nickname for the 51 Democrats who fled to Oklahoma in May to stop a vote on congressional redistricting. "But I never saw anyone run as fast as he did. It was a complete act of cowardice."
