    We already saw what happens when a man who barely understands baseball runs government. What's the worst that could happen?

    Texas has an interesting mix of wacky politicians.

    He's got the smarmy part of being a politician down to an art.

    One of his opponents will be a little-known member of the Gambini family... Ben Gambini.

    One can only hope...

    Another dumbfuck 1% teabagger with personal ethics to match.

    Long experience with accepting graft and bribes all the way back to his playing days, so he should fit in fine.

    Maybe you meant World War I? Eisenhower coached St. Louis College (now St. Mary's University) while stationed in 1916. But after that, he was pretty much established in the military.

    Plus, Army hired Red Blaik in 1941. It would have been rather strange to hire a coach who hadn't coached in 25 years.

    W was probably smart enough to get his fantasy football teams out of the first round of the playoffs though

    Living in the Collinfederacy, Craig would've done better running for a state Senate seat. He might actually have a prayer.

    But here deep in the hearta', the old line rules statewide, and the nouveau baggers are restricted to a tiny enclave around Lake Jackson.

    James is a conservative Republican in a conservative Republican state. OK, that makes sense. But it's also a state full of people who love football and watch a lot of it on TV. And I have yet to meet a football fan from anywhere who didn't loathe James with a white-hot passion. So I don't fancy his chances.

    By "insignificant" I assume he means "Way less than Eric got."

    Shit, Eric had to take a pay cut when he went to the NFL.
