I though that the air smelled better(look who he is in the pic with a FIRST CLASS RINO Bob Michel).

He was a good golfer, I reckon. (Stretching for something nice to say.)

I cringe every time I have to drive every day on a freeway bearing his name.

There’s a Billy Joel song out there that has a line “....only the good die young....”

Jim Wright's book scandal is the reason that the Democrats went so hard after Newt Gingrich's PAC in retaliation. And then they went after his loan from Bob Dole for good measure.

Yep, old Ft. Worthless Jim Wright was punished for accepting union money.
When is Hillary going to be punished for getting money from Middle East despots, unions, everyone who had a checkbook and wanted a favor? Inquiring minds want to know.

We’re now in a new paradigm where Democrat corruption is rewarded.

In DFW his ‘wright amendment’ prevented Southwest airlines from flying direct flights to long distance airports from Love Field as to not compete with DFW Airport. There had to be some hidden cookies in it for him. That amendment last year was totally voided.

I cringe every time I have to drive every day on a freeway bearing his name.It's disgusting that so many of the freeways and other roads in this part of Texas are named after traitorous 'RATs. In addition to the Jim Wright Freeway, there's the LBJ Express, Sam Rayburn Tollway, S. M. Wright Freeway, R.L. Thornton Freeway and Marvin D. Love Freeway. Yet not a single one named to honor either Presidents Calvin Coolidge or Ronald Reagan. While the rural parts of Texas are great, that's proof of the urban areas (Dallas and Ft. Worth among them) being third world, socialist cesspools.
