Gail Collins of the New York Times: In Today's Texas, You Gotta be Crazy!

Texas: Big Crazy
Gail Collins examines the stark reality that Republican elected officials Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Rick Perry, and Representatives Pete Sessions, Steve Stockman, and Louie Gohmert all hail from the Lone Star State.

Gail Collins' column at The New York Times is linked below.

Gail Collins: The Ubiquity of Texas Crazy

"In Texas, there’s so much craziness, it’s hard for a normal crazy to get attention. Imagine an election year with both Perry and Cruz on television every night. To get any airtime, the Texas guys in the House of Representatives would have to call for impeachment while bungee jumping. While waving “Secede!” signs. While carrying unconcealed weapons."

---Gail Collins, The New York Times
