655. Texas AG Ken Paxton
It is with no joy that Stacie reports on the public corruption catastrophe that is one Ken Paxton, current attorney general of Texas and possibly the next Senator from the Lone Star State. On the other hand, are there two people in the world who deserve each other more than Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz? We don’t think so. At least Ken’s wife finally bought a couple of vowels and got o-u-t.
