2. Well, to be fair
he's spent most of his adult life (well, prolonged pubescence in an adult body) in and around Houston, unless he was drilling dry wells around Midland.

Yeah, he's a preppy banty rooster, but he's adopted Texas through and through, thinking Texas is where good people go when they die and preserving his Texas buddies and their fortunes to the detriment of the rest of the country.

It's an attitude such that I propose a constitutional amendment preventing anyone who has been born in, grown up in, or lived in Texas for any length of time ineligible for public office until such time as that state decides to join the rest of the country in ideals and culture.

Hell, throw California, which has given us Nixon and Reagan, in there too, so Texas doesn't feel particularly picked on.

(tongue firmly in cheek)
