Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Rumor has it that US Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has her eye on the Governor’s Mansion in 2006.

Based on this story, I’d be inclined to vote for her. (That Big Dickhead Perry has linguini for a fucking spine has a little bit to do with it too – but that’s another post.)

She may be able to hang a giant Lone Star flag outside her office, but Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Thursday there’s one part of her Texas culture she couldn’t bring to the nation’s capital — her handgun.

(shrug) I don’t know why not.&#160 It doesn’t keep the drug dealers, nor the murders, nor the armed robbers, from having their&#160 guns within easy reach.&#160 Doesn’t seem to me like the DC cops do all that good a job of keeping track of the guns…

Hutchison said she didn’t know when she arrived from Austin in 1993 that the District of Columbia prohibits keeping a fully assembled handgun in the home. The district’s ban has been in place since 1975.

Hutchison, a Republican who is considering a 2006 run for Texas governor, introduced legislation Thursday to lift the ban. If the bill passes she said she would keep a gun in her D.C. home.

Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and George Allen, R-Va., are co-sponsors.

Memo to the Lady&#153:&#160 This&#160 is one of the reasons why I want to stay in Texas – because the majority of our Congresscritters understand what Article II of the Bill of Rights means.

“I have always had a handgun in the drawer next to my bed, and I would certainly again have one if it were legal in D.C.,” Hutchison said.

Her office said her handgun is a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver.

Damned fine gun, if you ask me.&#160 My respect for her just went up a notch. (grin)

Hutchison said after she learned of the D.C. gun ban, she dismantled her gun, bought a travel case for it and took it back to Texas. She said she’s complying with the law even though she thinks it’s unconstitutional.

In this instance, I’d chide her a bit:&#160 It doesn’t matter what she thinks.&#160 It is&#160 unconstitutional.

“I think every woman in the District of Columbia should have the ability to protect herself in her home,” she said.

Oh?&#160 Kay, honey, I think every person&#160 in DC ought to have that ability.&#160 Why’re you wanting to limit it to the gals, hm?

Cornyn’s office said he has several types of guns and rifles and keeps them in an “undisclosed location.”

Now that’s&#160 the way you go about it.&#160 Why do folks need to know where he keeps his guns?

Reminds me of the old bumper sticker:&#160 “I carry a gun three days a week.&#160 You guess which three.”
