Entertainingly Painful

Lt. Governor David Dewhurst's TV ads kill me. He must spend all of his time on a horse (because he loves that image) but now I learn he's saving babies "one at a time". As his ad tells me, after being elected Land Commissioner he [confusing correlation forthcoming] "championed the Baby Moses Program, encouraging mothers to bring their unwanted babies to safe places." And he actually had a re-enactment of the Baby Moses Program in action: An African-American firefighter longingly looks into the eyes of baby that was abandoned into his arms. Sheesh. (Maybe I'm just grumpy today.)
