Politicians habit of putting themselves before those they serve surfaces again.

As we all know, Texas district 22 has been the source of much flack from the corrupt self serving Republican regime. In the recent mid-term elections, a special spot was on the ballot for filling the deposed and disgraced seat of Tom Delay. You may remember that Mr. Delay quit after being charged with corruption.
The winner of this two month powerless seat was Ms. Shelly Sekula-Gibbs. Although this means nothing to those outside of Houston city limits, it means about $2 million dollars to the citizens of Houston. You see, the position she held on Houston's City Counsel is now vacant and a special election will have to be held to fill her position.
Why couldn't she concede to the challenger for this meaningless 2 month job?
Because she has no moral issue with making the taxpayers of Houston pay a million dollars a month for her personal benefit.
