Nick Says No To The Special

Kuff blogs it, so I don't have to. But Nick Lampson will not be putting his name on the Special Election ballot for what will essentially be a two-to-three week term.

Smart move, I say. It's a pointless election that doesn't really do him any benefit - or the district for that matter. Gov. Perry could have called a Special Election for September (IIRC). But, of course, the whole world had to be sucked into Tom DeLay's little egocentric melodrama. Not sure, but I believe that may well represent the first and only time the terms "little" and "ego" have ever been used in conjunction with Tom DeLay's name.

Anyways, the next step is Sheltie's ... I've said it before, but I don't think it's really in her interest to enter the Special either. That said, there's plenty of room available for her at the front counter of Macy's selling skin cream. Or so I hear.
