I lived there in the early 80s. But, it was the other Dan Patrick who was for a time Keith Olbermann's co-host at Sportscenter .

I’m always amazed at how there are ever more examples of why I abhor republicans. Patrick did his bit, the Texas state senate chock full of truth haters no different than those in Washington. Best of luck to Dade Phelan. I seldom wish good luck to a Republican but his enemy is not the good guys. What a cesspool the gop is.
