Ambassador ‘Embarrassed’ to Be From Texas After Learning of Obama Speech Controversy
NBC Dallas ^ | Sept. 8, 2009

"I'm befuddled. There are few moments in my life where I'm embarrassed to say I'm from Texas, this was one of them," U.S. Trade Representative and former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk said. "I think that some of those that have been the most ungracious and discourteous five years from now will be embarrassed by their behavior. But right now, I guess the best we can do is be embarrassed for them."

He was the pathetic, racist, liberal mayor of Dallas a while back. And yes, I’m embarrassed that he’s from Texas too.

I have never, never read of anyone that was “embarrassed” to be from Texas!

Natalie Maines.

I can’t believe he was ever elected in my state.

Mayor of Dallas, 1995-2002.

Does that clarify things?

My “I don’t know who he is” was intended more sarcastically. Oh well. FAIL.

Wonder if the Dixie Chicks could use another bus driver? Do they still HAVE a bus?

Hey Kirk:
Don't let it hit you in the A$$ as your being beamed out of here.

Well, we’re not happy about you being from Texas either. How about you just stay where you are. We won’t miss you. Promise.

Then leave Texas and don’t come back. We don’t want losers.

Well, don't bother being embarrassed for us, Mr. Trade Representative. I'm embarrassed that you're from some part of South and putting on your shameful display of white guilt, or whatever your problem is. Their initial plan with all their little lesson plans was totally out-of-place. I'm embarrassed that you can't see that.

Don't need a bus since they don't get out of the garage anymore. Hang on girls, American Idol starts in the fall.

Ah yes, poor ol' Nat who "struggled" to get gigs in her early years. By "struggle" I mean she had to beg her family extra nice to pull strings for her...

#1 - Dunno who Ron Kirk is, despite the information in the article. #2 - I don’t really give a shit what he thinks. #3 - I can’t believe he was ever elected in my state.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
