It's not about whether or not her past is "perfect".

It's about what the woman has done in her political career. If there's a camera, she's there. She has a history of, um, interesting viewpoints.

Her weighing in on the matter would cause those familiar with some of her past "antics" to arch an eyebrow.

And her sorority membership is not an issue.

Her membership was just an FYI and nothing more or less.
As for the rest, there are others who have "past antics" who seem to get
matters into the news and many times even further. And we have threads on those also in News and Politics.

And while we can have all sorts of debates about "the messenger", I think we need to hold on and wait to see what if anything happens. Per news stories, seems to be at least one Federal probe going on already in County.
And if it was nothing, I guess it was a rather slow news day today for it to even make the papers:eek::p;):D

Then you don't have to.

Of course it made the news - you cited to three Texas papers, and one other outlet where it was listed as an AP story (which, I'm guessing, is how you saw it in your local paper). If a big event happens, and a Congressman speaks out on it, the AP is going to cover it no matter what.

I don't think that her comments, or the weight of them, has anything to do with the coverage.

She is off the deep end.

Amen!

Egads, not her!! Anyone but her. She is an embarassment to anyone outside of her constituency who lives in the state of Texas.

She should be an embarassment to her consitituency - they elected her!

I agree, but for some reason they keep sending her back!!!:confused:
