clowns and idiots
This letter went out in today's mail:

Senator Ken Armbrister
3205 East Mockingbird
Victoria, Texas 77904
Dear Senator Armbrister,
Yesterday on local radio news reports discussing the end of the 2nd Special Legislative Session I repeatedly heard an audio clip where you lamented yourself and your fellow legislators being referred to as “clowns” and “idiots”. While many would argue that this is an accurate description given the Texas Legislature’s repeated inability come up with a plan for school finance and property tax reform, I completely disagree.
I commend you sir, for this is without a doubt the most honest and accurate statement I have heard from an elected official in many years. You and your fellow legislators are definitely not clowns or idiots.
Clowns are entertaining and amusing, and any fool will tell you that even an idiot gets it right sometimes. Neither can be said about you, your colleagues on both wings of the Capitol Building, or the Governor.
Clowns and idiots would not have squandered away the opportunities of two Regular Sessions and not one, not two, but six Called Special Sessions to provide relief and reform to a system widely believed by a majority to have been broken for years.
Clowns and idiots would have lacked the audacity to push through legislation that boosted their benefits or gave sweet deals to their corporate buddies in the telecom industry while completely disregarding the needs of the school children of Texas.
Senator Ambrister through your actions or lack thereof, you and your legislative colleagues have demonstrated that you are vain, grandstanding, egocentric, and self-serving. You and your colleagues demonstrated a greater concern towards bettering your own fortunes and for the next election than you did for the concerns of those you claim to represent. These are neither the characteristics of clowns nor idiots.
Most clowns and many an idiot would recognize the cruel irony in mandating that the public school children of Texas pledge their allegiance every morning to a flag and to a state that has completely turned its back on them.
So again sir, I agree with you. You are definitely not clowns or idiots.
You are something far more insidious.
Good day.
