2. henry cuellar is/was one of bush*'s "pet democrats" trotted out to prove how bipartisan he was
One more joke played on our nation from Texas.


"SAN ANTONIO --A photo of President Bush cupping the cheeks of Rep. Henry Cuellar at last week's State of the Union address has been the gift that keeps on giving for Cuellar's chief rival for the Democratic nomination.

The Washington Post picture of Cuellar beaming as the president holds his face is a boffo hit on the Internet, inspiring humorous-caption contests and accusations that Cuellar is a stealth Republican."

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/us_house/articles/2006/02/10/photo_with_bush_helps_congressmans_rival/

"Cozy with the GOP

Cuellar endorsed George W. Bush in 2000, and according to MSNBC, "Cuellar made some Democrats furious when a photo was published showing President Bush grabbing Cuellar's cheeks at the <2006> State of the Union. After liberal blogs posted the photo, Rodriguez's campaign has raked in the cash, more than $70,000 from online donors, according to ActBlue, a Democratic online clearinghouse." <1>

In 2002 "Cuellar ran against Republican congressman Henry Bonilla. During that race, he received significant help from Rodriguez, then the congressman from San Antonio, who wanted to see the Democrats pick up Bonilla's seat. But after Cuellar narrowly lost, and after Texas Republicans -- in their controversial redistricting plan a year later -- reconfigured Rodriguez's district to include Cuellar's hometown of Laredo, Texas, Cuellar did what some thought was an act of betrayal: He challenged Rodriguez for his seat in the 2004 primary, and won. (Cuellar went on to defeat his Republican opponent in the general election, 59-39 percent.) That left a bad taste in the mouths of some Democrats in Texas and Washington, which only intensified after Cuellar arrived on Capitol Hill, and was seen as being a little too cozy with the GOP" <2>"
