Getting started on Friday links
* George H.W. Bush to endorse Hutchison. By the way, Wayne Slater, only Democratic activists use the "Tea Bag" phrase that you use. Too much MSNBC can lead to slips like that.
* Meanwhile, Sarah Palin will appear with Rick Perry in Houston on Dec 7th.
* The Supreme Court's decision threatens Texas' ban on corporate contributions as a 1st Amendment violation of free speech.
* Former Mexico president Vicente Fox was in Laredo and blamed America's thirst for drugs for Mexico's gang problems. The sad thing is: he's right.
* Wayne Slater devotes newspaper space to speculating that a $50k donation to Perry from a normal Democratic donor is meant to help Bill White by helping KBH win. All I want to know is: how slow was the newsday? I mean, it's possible, for sure since John McHale has apparently only given to Lamar Smith on the GOP side until now (according to the link, I haven't verified). But only $50k? That would be extremely stupid to only donate $50k if the objective is to influence the outcome of the race. $50k is so extraordinarily unlikely to change the outcome.
* John Cornyn is trying to recruit recruit recruit candidates to run for the Senate this year.
* Looks like the Dem establishment is backing Gilbert over Kinky in the Ag Commish race.
* I suppose it's fair to note that Craig James is now on the board of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
* There's a whole list of longer posts I have planned but...well, if you've been around for awhile, you'll know that my blog promises are worth what you pay for them.

And sympathizers. You may be too charitable in calling it a "slip." :)
