Seems like the She-Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is skootching closer to running for Governor in 2010.  Saturday, the Quorum Report printed the list of her 300 BFFs who are going to help her win the right to squat in that burnt out mess of a mansion over on Colorado Street.

Leading her list are GOP has beens party stalwarts like Phil Gramm.  Yes, that Phil Gramm, the former Senator, Aggie economist & Enron stockholder that said we’re nothin’ but a nation of whiners.   One of my favorite people.

Then, there’s Rod Paige, former HISD Superintendent and W’s secretary of education and architect of No Child Left Behind.   Woo hoo, betcha that’s gonna get you a lot of votes.

How about former congressman Henry Bonilla?  He founded the “American Dream PAC”, but instead of dreams, Bonilla’s hand-picked treasurer got caught with his hand in the PAC cookie jar.  Whoops.  In spite of having a congressional district drawn just for him, he managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and lost the seat to a dimocrat. 

Then, there’s convicted drunk driver Congressman Kevin Brady from The Woodlands.

So far, we are underwhelmed.  So goes the battle of the big-haired former rah rahs.
