Thar' She Blows!

After seeing this headline online at the Houston Chronicle, I just know someone is gonna blow a gasket...

Perry: No special election, unless DeLay resigns by Friday

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry said today that he will not call an election to fill the congressional seat to be vacated by U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay before November if DeLay doesn't resign by Friday.
...(snip)...
Perry can call an emergency special election at an earlier date than November, but spokesperson Kathy Walt said the governor, at least for now, sees no reason to do so. She left the door open, however, for Perry to change his mind.

I found this paragraph particularly amusing:

Lampson said the special election should be called so that the area has representation during the next few months. Lampson supporters were carrying tea bags, which they described as symbols of taxation without representation, a reference to the American revolution.

Gee, uh, I wonder who might have given them that idea??? (Check out the bottom middle of the post.)

Hoo-boy! CD22 Fort Benders were already worked up hotter than a two-dollar pistol-- I can't imagine the seething rage that's boiling at this very minute!
