Kay Bailey Hutchinson Confused Again
Kay Bailey Hutchinson once again can’t decide what to do. Another fine Texas Republican who can’t do what they say. Kay’s version of the Texas two step or three or four step goes something like this
July 29, 2009 Dallas Morning News:
“Formal announcement: I am in. Then the actual leaving of the Senate will be sometime — October, November — that, in that time frame,” she said.
Oct. 13, 2009 Politico:
“Right now I want to just see what comes next,” Hutchison told a Dallas-Fort Worth radio station, according to the Dallas Morning News. “I want to stay and fight with every bone in my body against a government takeover of health care.”
Nov. 13, 2009 Politioc:
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) will announce she’s delaying her resignation from the Senate so that she can continue to represent Texas in the Senate while pursuing the Republican nomination for governor in the Lone Star state.
The decision also gives Hutchison an employment insurance policy: If she loses the primary, she’d still have the Senate seat until at least 2012.
Kay Bailey concedes to 39%
H/T to McBLogger
Senator Support Hose decided today NOT to resign prior to the primary. Instead, she’s decided to continue her project in the Senate which consists, primarily, of fucking things up for her constituents. And wasting her contributors money in a vain attempt to beat 39% who will, because of this, beat her like she owes him money.
I find it interesting that this comes not long after Hank Gilbert’s campaign rolled Kay’s Magic 8 Ball. I also loved Hank’s comment…
Anyone who says they are shocked by her announcement hasn’t followed the lengthy trail of broken promises she’s left in her wake, starting with her promise to serve only two terms. She is an unreliable and undependable public servant who dodges and weaves as it suits her political ambitions. Senator Hutchison has left her supporters and contributors holding the bag.
Cause and effect? Certainly didn’t hurt. I do think it’s funny that, once again, Gilbert’s campaign is the only one with a pulse, hitting Republicans hard. And Hank even had time today to go live in the comments on a post at Kos regarding his LGBT policy.
B team member Tom Schieffer was busy telling that retarded little story about his tux while Kinky was trying to con someone into buying one of his books by promising that it was really written by someone with talent. Farouk Shami was busy scribbling out checks to every Democratic club in the state of Texas in a sad attempt to make up for years of neglect. Just like my mother. Which reminds me, if you have a Democratic club (especially one that endorses) you need to hop on the gravy train soon. I just set up three new clubs last week and am looking forward to making enough to have a very merry Christmas (Thanks Farouk! I can even say it like Ms. Texas, it’s really something in real life).
39%, meanwhile, celebrated his rapidly approaching victory in the R primary with a ‘close friend’ at Charlies.

KBH is running scared. All the buzz is that she may drop out of the governor’s race entirely, stating that she is too important to leave Washington. It is amazing how incompetent she has been in her quest to unseat Goodhair. If she is this incompetent campaigning, how bad would she be governing?

Indeed. It can’t help KBH that Dick Cheney will formally endorse her in Houston this week. If KBH beat Perry she would be just as useless in Austin as she is in Washington.
Democrats better get it right this time or we will be left with Perry again.
