Chris Bell, one of our local Representatives here in Houston, has filed a formal ethics complaint against Tom Delay. The complaint generally focuses on Delay's involvement with the redistricting mess last year. Bell's seat was lost due to the redistricting. ...
One Republican was quoted as saying "you kill our dog, we'll kill your cat."

So was this a threat, or a summary of the events so far? It would appear that Bell's animal has already been slain, and now he's looking for retribution.
Hello: here's your race. Delay needs to go (it's hopeless, but he needs to go).

So what is it with Republicans and animals? Amusing affectation, or sick obsession? As FNC says, You Decide.
Republican SC Govenor brings pigs to state house, who promptly dump on the legislature.
Quote:
Gov. Mark Sanford brought live pigs into the House chamber Thursday to make a point about pork barrel spending but ended up with a bipartisan firestorm hot enough for a barbecue.
"Insulting" and "childish," said House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville. "This is beneath the dignity of the Governor's Office, and I am embarrassed for him."
Minority Leader James Smith, D-Columbia, said, "I don't know if (Sanford) has any credibility or reputation left that gives him any ability to lead."
Adding insult to injury, one of the pigs promptly defecated on the marble floor of House lobby after Sanford put them down.

Obviously, the Governor's office neglected to check in with bilmore, who could've warned them about this precise risk.
