39% gets shunned

A McBlogger informant called Saturday to tell me that she was at the 4A UIL State Basketball Tournament. During half-time, they did the awards ceremony for 2A and announced 39% would be handing out the award.

And NO ONE CLAPPED as 39% walked out. No one stood. Our informant described it as the silent treatment for 39% which should surprise no one. I mean, come on, you can't go through your time in public service being a complete douche and not expect people to treat you like shit.

In case you hadn't realized it, Texas is now a full fledged swing state. People are SICK of the one party bullshit and what they've realized is that all the things they thought they hated about Democrats are really things they despise about Republicans. 2008 is going to see Democratic control of the House and possibly (if candidates will get off their asses) in the Senate return to Texas.

Your source would like to report that it got better. I saw three more awards ceremonies after that one and it was always the same...no luv for the guv. Crickets chirping. Not even a polite golf clap.

It was actually kind of embarassing for the poor guy. By the time the 5A final rolled around the stands were full of people from suburban Houston (one of the 5A finalists) and far west Texas (winners in 1A Division 2 who stayed for the late game because the suburban Houston coach was from their little town I think the announced said.)

Anyway, you woulda thought those people would have been Goodhair's peeps...but you coulda heard a pin drop.
