Transcript: Beto O'Rouke and Veronica Escobar

Max has done it again.

We are bringing you another exclusive transcript* of a conversation between Congressman Beto O'Rourke and County Judge Veronica Escobar.

***********************************************************************************

At that parking lot of GeoGeske's, after wiping away a few tears while she sits in her car after a few too many glasses of white wine, County Judge Veronica Escobar calls her friend, Congressman Beto O'Rourke.

Beto O'Rourke (BR): Shalom, this is your Congressman representing the 9-1-5, how can I represent you!?!?

Veronica Escobar (VE): Shalom?

BR: Yes, shalom.  It's Hebrew for "What's shakin', brah'!?!?"

VE: I am not stupid Beto, I know what shalom means, just why are you saying it???

BR: Because Claudia, contra my Twitter account, I am a friend of the Jews.  From the shores of South Florida to....

VE: WHAT!?!?! CLAUDIA!?!? BETO, IT'S ME!!! VERO!!!  YOU A**HOLE!!!! DON'T YOU HAVE MY NUMBER!?!?!

BR: Easy, my Eskimo shiksa.  I switched over from my iPhone to Samsung so I ain't got no ones number. 

VE: Fine, Beto...I don't care...anyways...

BR: Is this gonna take a while?

VE: WHAT!?!?

BR: Yea, I ask cos' I am gonna get circumsized.  This goy is gonna be an honorary tribesman.  So I am heading to my bris.

VE: WHAT!?!?! WAIT!??!? AREN'T YOU ALREADY CIRCUMCIZED!?!?

BR: Well I am, but I can still lose another inch or two, you know what I am sayin'?  Makes it easier on the wifey, just as important shows all my Jewish friends, especially AIPAC,  that I am one of them, despite all that Irish Catholic shit and some vote about the Thunder Dome.  I mean the Thunder Dome kinda sucked...

VE: Beto, first of all, it's the Iron Dome, and second are you really gonna have a bris, and have some old man...

BR: Grab my man hammer and show to the world the third leg on this 6'5 Irish barstool?!?! Phuckin' A!!!

VE: I hate you, Beto!!!

BR: Whoa, shalom, my fellow gentile...

VE: No, Beto! You listen to me.  It was bullshit that Shapleigh wanted you to run for Congress and me for County Judge.  I am here stuck babysitting Vince, and worried that his fat little staffer is gonna start bloggin' about me, all the judges are after me, the only person that listens is Joe Muench...

BR: Okay, Vero...umm...I got Claudia callin' me....MAZEL TOV! AND OPA!

(BR hangs up)

VE: OPA?

El Paso Times and Its Irrational Fear

Yesterday, the El Paso Times ran its usual Joe Muench column.

And good ol' Joe was yucking it up about his back-and-forth email with County Judge Veronica Escobar. 

And that yuckin' it up got me thinking about the Times and Escobar 

I know some of you like to think the Times is in the tank for Team Shapleigh, which often at times it does appear to be the case.

Has there been an editorial NOT endorsing anything Escobar pushes?

Not that I recall.

But I don't think though the Times support for Escobar is necessarily genuine in that it thinks her ideas are gold.

It probably is more out of the fear that if it does not support Escobar that somehow the political ghost of Luther Jones will haunt the County Courthouse and City Council.

And sure, it certainly does not help that the voices for fiscal soundness tend to be, oh, I don't know, Theresa Caballero and the like.

But there is no reason to fear those folks.  Yes, will they be around and make noise, but as far as winning at the ballot box...nope...not unless Veronica and Company really screw the pooch, and by that time it is a little to late. 

Besides, if the El Paso Times is taking policy positions based on a fear that Larry Medina wants to take them on plane ride, well, then it is not being any less knee-jerk than the Crazies themselves.
