Sen. Hutchison continued toying with our emotions this afternoon with a clarification of her comments earlier today, which of course, coming from Hutchison means that she's actually about to make things more confusing and ridiculous than they were before.

CQ Politics: First, she told a Texas radio interviewer that she intends to resign her seat in the Senate.

In Washington a short time later, Hutchison said she might stay in the Senate through next year's gubernatorial race and really didn't intend to indicate a change in her anticipated timetable.

Oh. My. God. Are you for real? ARE YOU FOR REAL? SNIP

I wish I could add more, but I don't want to violate the fair use rules.

2. If somebody could just put it on a silver platter for her, that would be nice. n/t

3. I don't have a link but there's some quote

from her talking about how nobody expected Perry to stay in office this long and thinks he's pushing it too far by running again.

It's classic to hear something like that come from somebody who's been in the Senate for 16 years.

4. Well, her first name is what in Spanish, isn't it....
