Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst — once a dominant political figure with money, power and position — is now seen after a phone call to Allen police as the one who’s hanging on the line.

I love it when people who live their lives in the public’s eye (Oprah) and they come across people who don’t know who they are. Too funny.
I’ve heard this call that Dewhurst made to the P.D. a couple of times now and he literally sounds drunk. He rambles on for ten+ minutes, repeating himself, and had a tough time getting some words out.
I was ready for the S.O.B. to be gone a long time ago. Any politician, left or right, in office too long becomes a liability to the people and he’s damn sure worn out his welcome.
