Ben Barnes is one of the biggest crooks Texas politics ever saw, and that's saying something. He's also a democrat (shocking!). I wouldn't believe anything he said.

He probably learned his trade and was a protege of the Infamous Bobby Baker, onetime henchman of LBJ.
Anyone remember him????????????????

In the 1980s I took Barnes' deposition. He was a typical politician deadbeat---unwilling to pay his bills. I see his character hasn't changed.

Yeh, Barnes was "tainted" by the Sharpstown scandal which "tainted" many in state government at that time-Sharpstown was a major stock fraud. He's Texas' second biggest crook to LBJ.

Yeah, Ben was so crooked that he couldn't run for political office anymore. Ben, like Mr. Kerry did, hopes that we won't remember the past.

Majority leader Tom Daschle has called him "the fifty-first Democratic senator."

Barnes was kicked out of office best I remember--Sharpstown Bank scandal.
