- For "administrative reasons"? Don't be silly, they want
- them to have a chance to flush those nasty metabolites
- out of their systems. Who do they think they are kidding?
- What they should do is just do the right thing and can the stupid
- policy. It is merely an artifact of the RightWingReligiousNutCase

- Why don't they just do the right thing and repudiate the

- Not surprised. Most Texas Republicans are mutant life-forms
- that take their sustenence by bottom feeding with the religious right.
- Joe's just making sure that his pharisee butt is "right with
- god" and the half-wit, pharisee, pseudo-christians that put him
- where he is today. Jesus would puke if he could see some of the
- hateful half-wits that soil his name today.

- Ah yes, the old "if you have nothing to hide" gambit. Makes
- a nice argument against the entire bill of rights if your
- audience is the half-witted crowd that elected Joe Barton.

- Okay, so when does Barton take his alcohol test? What a
