Craig James is about to embark on a journey that should thrill us all. He’s actually managed to find the one profession which will allow him to be held in greater contempt than he’s in now.

I’m pretty sure what you just said is actual sedition. That said, I could get on board with it so long as he chooses Steven A. Smith as a running mate with Colin Cowherd and Rome as potential cabinet members.
Come to think of it, World Wide Weasels is exactly who they are.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
His first paid announcement will be on the Longhorny’s Network. His son writes and flashes the reminder cue cards for their Gov/Pres. Cand. He and the Gov go hunting for coyotes in the Austin City Limits. Do they still have that show?
It’s reported that he will travel to Brownsville so that he can say he saw a foreign country. As long as he doesn’t ask,”Is that where the Beaners come from?” he should be OK with the Hispanic vote. It’s rumored he will deliver his first speech standing on a rock at the entrance to Perry’s hunting ranch.

The good people of Texas are way too smart for this whining dummy. Think he will carry the Lubbock area? I am in favor of anything to gets him off the TV, just wish he could take some of the other pieces of dung with him…especially those in the executive group that doesn’t see what we all see. Did hear a snnipet of information where another network is going to start an all-sports network. I don’t have much confidence in them but competition is almost always good for the final product and the consumer.

Not really stoop, they have been the best group , collectively, I have encountered in my travels in this country. I can understand how they came to be a part of the Union, but don’t really understand why they should stay now. It is their legal right to leave, and I would not be surprised if they do. There will be a mad rush to join them. If you don’t believe that, you are not paying attention to how disenfranchised many have become.. Not saying there aren’t some curious folk among them, but they just don’t sell out. When I first started traveling there 30+ years ago they were stronger, but even though they have been watered down some, the Texas attitude stands well above the rest. (Might rope off that Austin area, but the rest are keepers.)

Wow. You are giving the people of Texas waay too much credit. They aren’t smart, and off the top of my head they have given us such douchbags as Tom Delay, Bush 1 & 2, and possibly the most comedic one of all, this Rick Perry bozo. James will fit right in with this bunch. ; )

My son, who lives in Austin, says James already is introducing a bill against thespians. Perry is going to back it. He was going to outlaw schmucks , but changed his mind when he found out it would wipe out ESPN and most of the GOP candidates, James included.

Honest truth. In the 60s, the Texas Treasurer’s name was Jesse James. Saw his name on my student teaching wife’s (before she was my wife, now my ex) paycheck. Wonder if they are related?
Of course the Gov of that state used to be a Hogg. Named his two daughters Ima and Ura. Honest truth. You can look it up.
