TX Republicans eating themselves on re-redistricting.

Poor things, they can't seem to figure out which evil plan they want to follow. :eyes:

Even as Gov. Rick Perry tried to tamp down Republican infighting over congressional boundaries, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Thursday likened negotiating with Speaker Tom Craddick and the House to bargaining with an Iranian cabdriver.

"At this late hour, I think we need to come together . . . and stop playing the Iranian cabdriver negotiations where you get what you want, then you start adding two or three other requests," Dewhurst said at a news conference.

The Senate leader's comments came after Perry urged both sides to cool their rhetoric and complete a deal on a new state map by Monday so the March 2 primaries won't be delayed.

Oh, and religious folks might want to know that the legislature is forcing Jewish members to either reject their religion or shirk their duties too: http://www.statesman.com/news/content/shared/texas/legislature/1003/1003yomkippur.html

Edit - What about that "Iranian cabdriver" crack? Are we going to schedule "Chinese Fire Drills" now Dewhurst, you fuck?!

Stupid thugs. Can't even make a decision when they've tipped the playing field in their favor. Hopefully this trend will continue and they will implode under the weight of their own stupidity.
