It's tough to shame or embarrass a Texas Tea Party Republican about how dull-witted they sound when they talk about something as idiotic as secession.

After all, one of the people who led the discussion years ago in Texas was none other than their goofy Gov. Rick Perry -- Most things in politics really do flow from the top.

I've never before heard a Floridian mock a Texan accent. I didn't think it was possible but I was wrong.
