too small a barrel, too big a fish, too powerful a gun

As everyone knows, Shurf Shumate is running for re-election as Shurf of Potter County despite being indicted on three counts of official misconduct.

Panhandle Truth Squad was recently asked why we haven't had more to say about this.

That's easy: we see nothing unusual in a Republican primary in which two of the six candidates are under indictment. In fact, we're glad we live in the God-fearing Panhandle of Texas, where Republicans are relatively well-behaved and law-abiding. Only a third of the Republicans running are headed for jail? What did we do to warrant (pun intended) such a squeaky-clean group of Republicans?
