Craddick's Toadies

Toadie: n., pl. -ies. A person who flatters or defers to others for self-serving reasons; a sycophant.

Craddick's 13 toadies, all board members of the Texas Conservative Coalition, all pledging support to Cash Craddick:

Leo Berman (R-Tyler)

Warren Chisum (R-Pampa)

Linda Harper-Brown (R-Irving)

Carl Isett (R-Lubbock)

Phil King (R-Weatherford)

Jodie Laubenberg (R-Parker)

Ken Paxton (R-McKinney)

Dan Flynn (R-Van)

Geanie Morrison (R-Victoria)

Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola)

Bill Callegari (R-Katy)

Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood)

Wayne Christian (R-Center)

My only question is where are the others who owe allegiance to the Stars Over Texas guy, who dumped $$ into their campaign accounts at the 8-day out? I'm sure Isett is thinking, "how else will I be ablet to pay my wife tens of thousands of dollars per year for her bookeeping services, if I don't back my sugar daddy?" And Harper-Brown is thinking, "why the hell not, my days in the lege may be numbered."

Are these thirteen destined to croak along with Craddick in January, or will they continue to ask him "how high?" before they jump?
