OK...I'm going for a record here: two consecutive political posts.

Owing to a previous promise, I must present the following quote without commentary. OTOH, it pretty much speaks for itself.

Besselman called the statement a "known truth and malicious lie, to further your own political ambition" and promised a libel lawsuit if Quackenbush didn't lay off. Quackenbush replied with this letter:

"Dear Jimbo: Tell Mr. Pickens I'll be his huckleberry. Please let him know that if I'm elected to represent the 31st District, the only water he'll leave the Panhandle with will be the urine I leave on his pant leg."

"Mr. Pickens" is, of course, the inimitable T. Boone.

One of the anonymous bloggers over at Jessica's Well also weighs in on the significance of this exchange.

Incidentally, here's the article that provides the entire context for the issue. It's an important one, too (the issue, not the article).
