A loyal, right-wing FBvian reports from the field:
Attended the Dallas Pachyderms Club meeting today for the Republican DA Candidates Forum. Big crowd. But the buzz from the crowd at Eddie Deen’s restaurant didn’t come from the DA candidates. Amir Omar, when it was his time to introduce himself, stood up, showed a bottle of his BBQ sauce, and acknowledged Eddie Deen’s generous contribution. A few minutes later, when it was Wilson Aurbach’s turn, he introduced himself, and said that he “wasn’t trying to buy anyone’s vote.” VERY tacky to break Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment (though shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican). More than one person said that they would specifically NOT vote for Aurbach as a result.
I’m hearing from a couple FBvians who have been sauced. Says one:
I got one of those BBQ jars, left to its own devices on my front doorstep. Now, say I’m paranoid, but, even with a protective wrapper on the bottleneck, I’m wary of food left on my front doorstep. Not a brilliant move. And why is Eddie Deen on board with all this?
He’s not the only one who is paranoid. Web Mayfield’s wife is from Northern Ireland. So here’s how he handled his free sauce. And, yes, somehow Eddie Deen is involved.
