Rep. Phil King has joined the defense team in a wrongful death lawsuit in Wise County. After that, an "automatic" Motion for Continuance was then filed since the legislature is in session. (It's mandatory that it be granted.)He claims that his presence is not to seek a continuance because "I've done a lot of oil and gas work. I'm perfectly qualified to be the attorney,"
Oil and gas work qualifies you to defend a wrongful death suit just because it happened at a drill site?
From 2003 to 2006, only one other lawmaker has used the "legislative continuance" more than King.

A perfect snapshot of everything that is wrong with the Texas Legislature.
Ned. Flanders.
Maybe they should put him in charge of Anna Nicole's remains since her ex husband had interest in oil and gas.
I hate to lose !
If I didn't know better, I'd get the distinct impression that you did not like Phil King
He is a giant moron. The story in the Index about him wanting more coal-fired power plants show he doesn't give a damn about the people that elected him, he only listens to TXU.
He also has warts on his arse.
Just goes to show how deep the oil and gas industry is in ol Phil's pocket. Bet he has a nice little retirement account setup in Grand Cayman.
What is wrong with the Texas Legislature 7:57 a. m. is
R E P U B L I C A N S.
And King's interest in gas?
He's likely good at passing it.
6:49 has it about right. The idiots in Austin were put there by goofy right wing Republicans. And you see what we got? Are you happy? Are you going to return these goofuses again in 2008?
It will be interesting to see if the old Wise County Messenger and Bridgeport Index run this story.
