Restricted Access at Dallas County Commissioners’ Meeting: A Reenactment

This morning, the county commissioners took the rare step of restricting access at their meeting, the first since the FBI released its affidavit regarding the investigation of embattled Commissioner John Wiley Price. “The dais was roped off in three different areas, preventing news cameras from approaching Price after County Judge Clay Jenkins gaveled the meeting to a close,” the DMN‘s Kevin Krause reported. But words were not good enough for us, so we decided to reenact the scene. (Guest-starring as County Judge Clay Jenkins is Big Tex, and Rangers broadcaster Eric Nadel plays Reporter No. 1.)

  2. REQUIEM FOR AN ANGRY BLACK MAN

    zOMG, on YouTube there consists quite a list
    Of John Wiley Price, Dallas County inveteratist.
    Black holes, and white people you want in hell,
    But once again, hardly your political death knell.
    Skeptical your woundikins will result in attack
    When Elba and Clay are busy watching your back.

    Unless of course people stop taking what you say
    As flippant, unhurtful, then comes judgement day.
    “Go to hell”, I can take, it’s been said to me before,
    It’s the statement made with that which hit a score.
    “What’s wrong with white? Is this how blacks felt?
    A generation ago, forcing change in the bible belt?”

    I get it, “white’s less” in the mind of this fool,
    Considered oppressors, it’s very old school
    But hardly advancement for the citizens of Dallas
    When government speaks out with racial malice.
    Whether it’s white or it’s black, it hasn’t a place
    On the commissioner’s bench, no matter the race.

    I’m dumfounded about what can be done for this man
    An intervention seems needed, he’s hardly a fan
    Of most of our citizenry, if he’s really a hater.
    And history will not remember him as “Equator”
    Forever on video they will view his stupid rants
    And pictures of him posing in lip-kissed underpants.

  3. I want a John Wiley Price bobble head. He can go next to my Serpentor and Dr. Doom action figures.

  5. At least JWP didn’t try calling a county office “private property” again!

  6. @Zac, I’ve got a Larry Bird in Indiana State Univ. uniform bobblehead if you need to borrow it. Also a Sandra Day O’Connor if you need a judge bobblehead. And somehow a Don Zimmer in AAA Indianapolis Indians uniform. Don’t know what role he could play, but it might be the most entertaining of the lot.

  7. @Wes Mantooth: I am fairly certain I can figure out a role for Don Zimmer.

  8. I’ll throw in a Raphael Palmiero, Dirk Nowitzki, Alex Rodriguez, Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman. Oh, and all 5 members of N’ Sync. If you need an angry white crowd.
