Denton County is in north Texas and is in Texas only because Oklahoma doesn’t suck quite enough. It is full of Republican women who are not rich enough or pretty enough to make it in the Dallas social scene but fancy themselves to be Sue Ellen Ewing.

And that’s how Dianne Edmondson came to be the Republican county chair in Denton County.

When Dianne is not busy looking down her nose at you, she sends out emails to the party faithful.

They are perky, blinking lights kind of emails. You know, the kind where you know she laments daily that her keyboard doesn’t give her a choice of dotting her i’s with little hearts.

Here, let me show you a snippet from her latest email.

Oh yeah, she said that. You can go look for yourself.



Dianne, you know we can hear you, right?

And, if you have the guts, you can scroll down the newsletter and see that their Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner will feature not only Ted Cruz but also his batcrap crazy Dad. As the warm-up act is … oh yeah, Louie Gohmert.

Come on, Oklahoma, suck harder.


The Abbott supporters are proud of the abortionbarbie comment and have been posting like crazy on twitter using #abortionbarbie as a hashtag.

This is going to be a very nasty campaign in part due to the fact that the Texas GOP is worried
