Baffled by Betty Brown

My Republican friends in San Antonio always want to know why Republicans and Democrats have such a hard time being friends in Austin... I mean the Bexar County delegation has been working together for years... I count the Speaker as one of my friends...

I don't always have the best answer... and so rather than answer I guess I'll just show you...

During the very serious discussion on VoterID, Betty Brown said
this about Asian Americans and their names:

"Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it's a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?"

Here's the YouTube, it starts at 3:30
But in the spirit of bi-partisanship I'm offering the following assistance:



If you find your name is too difficult for the poll workers in Henderson county... we've got your back!

I agree... I'm now Crystal "Chicken and Dumplings" Brown.
I see a running theme here. We'll all just be "Brown". It's so simple! Yet very very very wrong.

1. Get your Betty-Brown-Approved-Name here.

2. Throw that Texan into the well after Tikki Tikki Tembo.

3. Texas style, 'drive friendly' away.

4. Pray there's only one of her.

Throw that Texan into the well after Tikki Tikki Tembo and Texas style, ‘drive friendly’ away.
OR
Pretend she offered a real apology, and pray there’s only one of her.
