Rumors that Texas lawmakers are a different breed are legend, and pillars of progressive journalism like Ronnie Dugger and the late, great Molly Ivins made careers covering the shenanigans and sleaze that goes on in Austin. Even reports of multiple voting have circulated. But the power of video makes this story come alive like nothing else. And this ‘report’ will not be thrown out with yesterday’s newspapers. (I received 5 copies of the video over the weekend and saw it posted several places.)

Hat tip: Doc Searls where I saw it first.
