WELCOME BACK TO TEJAS, TURDBLOSSOM

More than a few people have pointed out that Karl Rove is hustling back to Texas to save the sinking political career of his other political creation, Junior Senator John Cornyn, the single worst and most reactionary member of the U.S. Senate. This morning, Christy came up with a great suggestion at Firedoglake. Basically, she's proposing we all kick in a few dollars for the incredible Blue America candidate who Rove, Cornyn and the Bushes are so scared of, Rick Noriega.

Rick has to beat some quasi-Democrat millionaire lawyer before he can bring progressive populism back to Texas. This weekend we raised a little over $1,300 for Rick at Blue America. It would be great to get that up to $2,000 today, as a little welcome back to Texas for the Mayberry Machievelli himself. You can donate directly to Rick's campaign here with a credit card or you can send a check to Rick Noriega for Senate c/o Blue America, PO Box 27201, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Rick will be more than just "better than a Republican." He sounds to us like he'll be the kick ass, fighting Dem who won't wimp out on the important values issues that progressives in Texas love him for.


IF YOU LIVE IN TEAXS...

You already know what a clown John Cornyn is. Take a look at the man you could help to replace him:




UPDATE: MIKAL WATTS MAKES THE CASE... FOR RICK NORIEGA

The bloggers in Texas are doing an incredible job getting all the information out on the Texas Senate race. They don't miss a shot. Vince at Capitol Annex answers the bizarre and misleading claims by the multimillionaire who wants to buy himself a Senate nomination. Warning Texans: Beware Chuck Schumer.
