Yellow Dog Takes A Burn

Yellow Dog Democrat Lloyd Doggett of Austin (Travis County area), Texas is singing the blues.  It seems as if the conservative-controlled legislature has redistricted him out of at least 600,000 residents who voted for Barry the Pretender. 

Speaking to a reporter from KUT, Doggett said that this action has "plunged a dagger into the heart of Travis County".  It's strange how politicians tend to believe that they, themselves, are their districts.  Similar to his Houston contemporary, Sheila Jackson Lee: if Doggett is the answer, it must be a really stupid question.
