1. I love it!
I saw one (here in a picture on DU) in WI did the same thing for Governor Walker (shit head extraordinaire)

Great idea bringing it home to Texas. And whose ass would be bigger than our own Texas governor - Rick Perry!

:kick:

3. Woo hoo!!!
Too bad you couldn't go park it next to his home right? Because you know those people like to dish it out but can't take it.

For example this congressional staffer from Texas (natch) driving around with official plates that say WTF 44!

Mother Jones 5/16/11
Solved: The Congressional Staffer Behind "WTF 44"

Mystery solved.

Recently, an observant Capitol Hill staffer alerted Mother Jones to a 2007 Lincoln Navigator in a congressional parking lot that was sporting eyebrow-raising license plates. The Texas tags read: "WTF 44." The staffer helpfully snapped a photo (see above) and sent it along.

(snip)
It took several weeks, and further back and forth with the Texas DMV, but I finally obtained the title and registration information connected to WTF 44. "Release of personal information restricted," the document notes. But this record does provide the basics. It notes there's a lien on the vehicle (indicating a loan) from the Congressional Federal Credit Union, a banking institution largely used by House employees. The document specifies that WTF 44 is a "special plate"—that is, not one that was randomly assigned. And it lists the owner of the Navigator: Scott Graves of Bronte, Texas.

Graves is the legislative director for Rep. K. Michael Conaway, a Texas Republican who represents a district in the western part of the state and who serves as a deputy Republican whip. Graves has worked for Conaway since the lawmaker entered Congress in 2005, starting out as a legislative assistant and working his way up to his current position in 2007. According to Graves' LinkedIn profile, he attended Texas Tech University.

5. Thank you
I have bookmarked this and I look at it everytime I need a good laugh. I also sent it to friends who are as horrified as I am to live in a state that has him for Gov.

6. Lets hope he resigns to run for President
It may be our only way of getting rid of him from our Governor's mansion.
