Photo With Bush Helps Congressman's (Cuellar) Rival

SAN ANTONIO - A photo of President Bush cupping the cheeks of Rep. Henry Cuellar at last week's State of the Union address has been the gift that keeps on giving for Cuellar's chief rival for the Democratic nomination.

The Washington Post picture of Cuellar beaming as the president holds his face is a boffo hit on the Internet, inspiring humorous-caption contests and accusations that Cuellar is a stealth Republican.

Cuellar's Democratic rival, Ciro Rodriguez, has produced a leaflet centered around the photo. It reads: " George Bush thinks Henry Cuellar is `chulo'" — Spanish slang for "pretty boy."

The photo flap became even richer when it was revealed that Cuellar listened to the State of the Union address while standing on the Republican side of the aisle. Cuellar also served briefly as Texas secretary of state under GOP Gov. Rick Perry

5. Is the Texas Dem Establishment trying to squash this primary bid?

The CT Dem Establishment is trying to squash Ned Lamont's primary bid against Lieberman. The excuse is that "primaries divert money from other necessary races."
