Joe Straus Committee Chairs: Worse than Barbie!!!

"Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord."
Ephesians 5:22

On Friday, Morgan Willamson of Empower Texans made a shrewd observation:

[M]any might be shocked to know that on the Fiscal Responsibility Index for the 83rd Texas Legislative Session, Senator Wendy Davis actually out-performed a number of House Republicans when it came to taxpayer issues.

Which motivated us to cross-check Morgan's list against Joe Straus Committee Chairs.

You guessed it.

TEN ELEVEN!!!

Here's the Damage:

• Byron Cook, 42.0, State Affairs.
• Diane Patrick, 36.7, Higher Ed.
• Drew Darby, 35.7, Redistricting.
• John Otto, 35.5, Ways and Means (Vice-Chair).
• Jim Keffer, 35.3, Energy Resources.
• Lyle Larson, 39.0, Local and Consent.
• Charlie Geren, 37.0, House Administration. (Yeah, THAT Charlie Geren)
• Jimmie Don Aycock, 36.2, Public Education.
• John Zerwas, 25.3, General Investigating and Ethics.
• Bill Callegari, 39.0, Pensions.
• Jim Pitts, 29.7, Appropriations. (Yeah, THAT Jim Pitts)

That ten eleven Joe Straus committee chairs are to the left of Wendy Davis tells you everything you need to know about Joe Straus' callow, submissive leadership....
