A Picture Worth a Thousand Unflattering Words
Accompanying a recent Houston Chronicle article on the Radnofsky/Hutchison race, this picture:
The Chronicle's caption reads, "Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, center, mingles with President George Bush and District 22 candidate Shelley Sekula-Gibbs during Bush’s visit to Sugar Land on Monday." Somehow they managed to write that without any terms such as "lickspittle", "toady", "sycophant", "brown-noser" or "doormat" - and congratulations to them on their restraint.
So if you ever wondered what the face of a U.S. Senator who rubberstamps the Bush Administration 96% of the time looks like, well, now you know. At a time when Bush is so unpopular and toxic that he practically glows in the dark, here is Texas' senior Senator, openly fawning all over him.
Truly, if you like Dubya, you'll love Kay.
