Repukes may be trying to ship KBH off to England...

Article calls it a rumor but it makes you wonder how far chimp and company/TX thugs will go to make sure Perry has no fellow repukes in the primary:

It may not have much basis in fact, but the latest rumor about U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison has Austin buzzing again.

It has Hutchison, a Dallas Republican reportedly considering a bid for Texas governor, getting tapped by President Bush as U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James's, the plum United Kingdom position now vacant.

That would clear a major hurdle to Gov. Rick Perry's re-election and open up the coveted Senate nomination for U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla, R-San Antonio, or Republican Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.

Hutchison spokesman Chris Paulitz dismissed the rumors. "She's never been offered an ambassadorship," he said.

5. More rumors about carrot dangling

They reaaalllllly must be trying to avoid a Perry-Hutchison show-down. Think it is time to stock up on the pop-corn and line up the lawn chairs....sounds like Perry went crying to shrub for help.

How much do some people want to see Kay Bailey Hutchison stay in the Senate and leave Rick Perry alone? Enough to dangle some pretty big carrots in front of her.

said Hutchison likely would be offered the Senate GOP's No. 3 spot, chair of the Senate Republican Conference, a position now held by Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, if she remains in Washington.

Hutchison has expressed a desire to return home to raise her young son and daughter. Her latest approval rating of 67 percent among Texans far exceeds Perry's 45 percent, according to a recent Scripps Howard Texas poll.

In late April, Dallas GOP chairman and Perry contributor Nate Crain said Hutchison should drop the race because her considerations are dangerously dividing Texas Republicans.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee also wouldn't want to see her go.

"When you have a figure like her in the Senate, you are absolutely going to want to continue having her as part of your team," NRSC spokesman Brian Nick said. "Will there be senators encouraging her to stay in the Senate? The answer is yes."

2. Bush is obviously more upset than I realized

about the Downing St. Memo. I say this is overly harsh retaliation. I know how I've suffered while she was pretending to be a Senator and I wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy (unless they are a republiCON).

3. Send Norm Coleman!

He could get a few more lessons in reality from Galloway and nobody here would miss him very much.
