Back in 1971, Rep. Tom Moore, Jr. of Waco wanted to demonstrate that his fellow legislators in the Texas House of Representatives often passed bills and resolutions without fully reading or understanding them. So, he sponsored a resolution commending Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to “his county, his state and his community.” The joke, of course, was that Albert de Salvo was more commonly known as the Boston Strangler. As he expected, Moore saw his resolution passed unanimously; he then withdrew it and explained that he had only offered the motion to demonstrate a point.
Yep, The Ayes of Texas. What a great state this is…

Wow. I couldn’t believe this. I told this to another politico fan and she pointed out, “Too bad we can’t blame Bush.”
