Feet of Clay(ton)

By Sniffles

To all you wealthy John McCain supporters in Texas: Your Monday night just freed up.

Senator McCain has canceled a planned fundraiser at the house of oilman Clayton Williams. It seems that the Senator and his staff have just now figured out what a terrible person Mr. Williams really is.

Unlike the folks on the so-called Straight Talk Express, we remember Mr. Williams very well. He ran for governor against the late Ann Richards back in 1990, and he had some perfectly charming things to say about what to do if you're raped. We also remember him refusing to shake Ms. Richards' hand when they ran into each other at a public event.

And now, although Senator McCain won't be stepping over Mr. Williams' threshold on Monday evening, he is refusing to give back the $300,000 this lovely gentleman has raised for him.

In the words of the great Governor Richards: "Oh, Clayton, that's bad."
