Special Report Good Riddance, Joe Straus

Without their top enemy, who will Texas conservatives fight now?

Thomas Jefferson once asked if man had “found angels in the form of kings to govern him.” You wouldn’t know the question was rhetorical if you went by the mournful stories in the Texas media Wednesday about Joe Straus, the Republican speaker of the state House, announcing he won’t run for reelection.

“This is a sad day for TX,” tweeted Wendy Davis, the Democratic ex-gubernatorial candidate and abortion enthusiast. Straus “is the definition of public servant – always people above party.”

...

Anyone with a conscience, or an affinity for principle, might feel very different. Straus is no angel or statesman. He is a vindictive political lowlife unashamed to abuse his power...

Which he did with great regularity!

He won't be missed by many!

all the Democrats will.  Wendy Davis is already sorry to see him go.
