"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."

Not nearly as embarrassed as we are to have him telling people he is from Texas.
We are embarrassed that Ron Kirk is from Texas!
he practiced law until 1981 when he left to work in the office of then-Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen
In 1994, Kirk worked for then-Texas Governor Ann Richards as Secretary of State of Texas
His nomination ran into further controversy when it was revealed that he owed $9,975 in back taxes
The Idiot should really be embarrassed about working for the Anti-American, Racist, Communist, Terrorist Loving OBOZO! and also for being Stupid enough to still be a DEMORAT! TEXANS ought to disown Him and run him outa the Republic on a Rail..:-)
Texas doesn’t claim Kirk any more than the Marines claim Murtha.
Well, they’re easy to forget. :)
I am embarrassed to know that Kirk is from Texas.

yet another magic negro folks once thought was conservative..lol
let’s see:
Colin (not the catch the train guy, the other one)
Watts (couldn’t make up his large brain about Obama)
Condi (pro choice and other tidbits)
Steele (identity panderer and whatnot)
Nagin (yep onnce long ago in another galaxy called New Orleans pre Katrina he was a Republican)
on the bright side, I doubt Jesse Peterson, Tom Sowell or Clarence Thomas will ever disappoint me
Sir, may I be one of the first to suggest that you relocate to some other place more to your liking. Texas wishes the best for you. The truth is, you've been taking up space and well...not paying your taxes. TEXAS has almost $10,000. worth of embarrassment because your tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007 were reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee as part of the vetting process for the Trade Rep position you now hold and, gosh sir, they found that you failed to report some income. Actually, sir it was $37,750 in honoraries collected for 16 speaking engagements at Austin College over those three years. Turns out that in one year, you even deducted honoraries from four events as charitable donations though you hadn't reported them as income.
You also deducted too much for the cost of tickets to see the Mavericks. You reported the entire $17,382 as business expenses, remember? Is it coming back to you now, Sir?
TEXAS, sir, is a little embarrassed too. Maybe you could tell people you're from another place like, umm, Hawaii or even maybe another country, say like Indonesia? Most of us here in Texas like to pay our taxes and you make us look bad. One bright point is that Obama has really low standards up there in D.C. We think you will fit right in. Best wishes. Oh, and don't let the screen door hit you on your way out...
There are pimples on my ass with more intellectual and moral gravity than ron kirk.
I’m happy to be from Texas. I’m also happy that my 5-year-old didn’t have to watch Obama’s speech.
Is it just me or do others feel that the main accomplishment of the Obama Administration is going to be to drive a very wide wedge between blacks and other races and ignite race wars that won’t end for years and years?
” Hello folks. meet the newest dixie chick. “
My thoughts exactly.
Doubt there will be much said about this nationally but I don’t doubt there will be an uproar on local Texas talk radio.
Hope he sold his place here and plans to stay away.
I’m embarrassed that useful idiot leftists get elected in Texas’ largest cities. Fortunately, we who live in the smaller ones still fight communism.

Screw off, Kirk.
SOB should never return to Texas. What a gutless wonder.
Damn....I see a pattern here.
Thanks for the picture! I remember who he is now after seeing the picture and the controversy, one of many she had.
If he is so “embarrassed” he can “do the right thing” and never come back to Texas.
We don’t need him or any more idiot 0bamaworshiping Corruptocrats here.
