"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."

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...

Yours is one of the best posts I have seen on here. I am sitting here laughing at the way you ripped him apart. That was good!
