You know, the Governor's mansion is being remodeled. If we have to paint those walls AGAIN, there's going to be hell to pay.

4. She's leaving in 2009

7. Apparently she's considering stepping down early to run for TX Gov,

which would mean an appointment by the current TX Governor. We'll see, I guess.

[MonkeyFunk]

11. yeah

Perry could appoint himself to replace her!

3. no one wants the corrupt republicon cronies -- and they know it

rats jumping a sinking ship

5. the rest of the story is......

The story should have included her saying that she would probably resign early and that would give Gov 'Goodhair' the opportunity to pick a replacement. As she said so the person coul 'break in' and the public get to know them.

Pretty much a wash in either case though, as the Democratic Party of Texas has about as much political talent in its midst right now as a West Texas rancher has water.
