| What is the Secret to (DPS Political Abuse) Comedy? |

Timing!
Off the Kuff talks about the various messes, lies, and destruction of evidence in the DPS's efforts to enforce the Republican invitation for 51 Texas House democrats to return to Austin.
Here's a detail that I haven't seen get much play in the press, yet. And I was all ready to assume that it was just an overzealous flunky.
At 9:39 a.m. on May 14, the DPS ordered all records of the search to be destroyed. DPS claims the records were destroyed because the investigation was over, but the House did not drop the order to arrest the wayward members until 11:25 a.m. --The Houston Chronicle
I am finding all this extremely entertaining. Someone needs to tell the repubs what the phrase 'maintaining the moral high-ground' means. I'm not sure they ever had it, but they probably can't go to their whack-job right-wing base and say "we convinced law-enforcement to intervene in a political dispute, but they failed us."
