It's days like this when there's this
crazy shit in the Texas Legislature that makes me miss Molly Ivins.
The episodes culminated in December when Miles crashed a party at the posh St. Regis Hotel. Party host David Harris said a drunken Miles shocked guests with loud, profane language before planting a Godfather-style "kiss of death" on his cheeks, handing him a pistol and declaring,"You don't know what I'm capable of doing."
After proclaiming himself a "gangsta," Miles then allegedly kissed a female guest on the lips while her husband was away from the table.
Prosecutors are scrutinizing the episode. Meanwhile, the female recipient of Miles' unsolicited smooch filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages and demanding the lawmaker be tested for HIV. A hearing is set for Feb. 15.
It's hard out there on a Texas State representative. State politicians: Overachievers with too much weird shit in their pasts that keep them out of national politics.
