7. Sid Miller isn't ANYBODY'S idea of a "Texas Gentleman."

He's a shifty, brain-dead, rodeo-riding, piece-of-filth crook that nobody respects, not even Texas republicans. He got into office the same way other asshole politicians do in Texas: ignorant, straight-republican voting, mainly from rural areas of the state.

You might as well try to portray Trump as a "New York gentleman." That's how bad Sid Miller is.

And I can't help you with that "Texas Gentleman" term you're waving around, trying to stir up an altercation. Growing up in Texas, my parents and grandparents (my grandfather, especially), instructed me on being a "gentleman" without any regional chest-thumping involved. A few of the rules have changed with time, and God knows I often fall sort of the behavioral mark. But I still cherish the lessons, and the individuals who delivered them.
