Well looky there, ACORN has its own little nut in the Texas House.  The Texas Republicans peeled her bark in a press release today. Thibaut’s past is not unlike that of President Barack Obama; she too started out as a community organizer. And both did work for ACORN. Kristi even appeared at the State Capitol as a paid lobbyist for ACORN during the 2007 Legislative Session. ACORN activities have attracted the attention of law enforcement and prosecutors around the country, after they were exposed in a series of stings by a couple posing as a prostitute and a pimp, soliciting ACORN’s advice on how to operate their illegal enterprise without getting caught.

Steve Shannon hired a new campaign manager, Mike Henry, to try to make him appear to be a viable candidate. Mike needs to go back to the drawing board. Perhaps he is still reeling after managing Terry McAuliffe’s disaster of a campaign, spending money faster than President Obama and Nancy Pelosi combined with the same dismal results. Henry comes with a good history of results, managing Tim “The Absentee Governor” Kaine’s campaign as well as Mark Warner’s successful campaign for US Senate. Unfortunately for Henry and Shannon, George Bush is out of office and Obama is not doing so hot. For the first time, Henry will actually be forces to run a campaign against the actual opponent, rather than against an unpopular Bush.
