You gotta hand it to this clown – he crams more Republican-esque stuff into a TV ad than I could have imagined.

Written by Harold Cook, Letters From Texas is a humorous look at politics and current events, as seen through the eyes of a progressive Texan in a bad mood.
"A freaking riot.... Kudos to Harold Cook."
Evan Smith
Editor-In-Chief
Texas Monthly Magazine
"Harold Cook may be hazardous to your health…I have very real concerns that this blog is dangerous to the physical safety of Texas progressives."
Mary Mapes
Former Producer
"60 Minutes" - CBS News
"...our favorite political soothsayer and comedy stylist (well, next to Karl Rove)..."
Wayne Slater
Senior Political Writer
Dallas Morning News
"Harold Cook, who once tried to run over one of my reporters with a van full of senators, has now decided to run over everyone in sight with his new blog...."
R.G. Ratcliffe
Capitol Bureau Reporter
Houston Chronicle
"[Cook] is just twisted. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Sort of. Laugh uproariously when it's really freakin funny .... And shake your head, eyes covered, when it's just too...too...too."
Karen Brooks

I am speechless. I mean good god, that blew my mind. In a 60 second spot I counted at least the following:
– I’m a cop!
– I’m a businessman!
– I’m a MARINE!
– Vietnam!
– Thugs and criminal are BAD.
– illegal immigrants are bussed in by the thousands
– a close-up of a horse
– gratuitous rifle
– My opponent takes illegal contributions!
– Facebook!
– whining that his yard signs were stolen
– calling his opponent’s supporters “dummies”
I could not disagree with this spot more, but I freaking love it. In a world of panty-waist posturing and fake anger, I believe that guy is who he says he is — an angry redneck.
Of course, he’s probably a toe-tappin’, pee-pee touchin’, gay-prostitute-hirin’ freak show.
Is that the music from Blazing Saddles?
“Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age.”
I believe him 95%. The high waist jeans, non-Cowboy walk at the end, and embroidery on the back of his “work shirt” seem more than a little disingenuous. Does this remind anyone else of the Will Ferrell GWB skit??
