Carol Four Names Is Catching On…
By Vince Leibowitz on Feb 4, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections      
In a Midland Reporter-Telegram article, I just noticed that Bob Gammage called Carole Strayhorn by her name(s)…all four of them, and by “Carol Four Names”:
Calling her “Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn,” Gammage said she “is Perry lite” and shadowed by ethical questions stemming from criminal charges pending against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and GOP-connected Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
When asked how big a percentage the Nov. 7 winner will need, he said the victor between himself and his March 7 primary opponent, former Houston congressman Chris Bell, could prevail with less than 40 percent of the vote. “If Carole Four Names can take 20 percent or even 14-15 percent from Perry, the Democrat will win,” said Gammage.
Ya’ think Bob Gammage got this from the blogs? Hummm…Try here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here (and that’s just what I could get on the first page of a Google Blog Search). As for Carole Four Names, try here, here, and here (Again, via Google Blog Search. For some reason, it won’t ever let me get to the second page of results, especially with such a long quoted search string as “Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn.”
Of course, given that Texas has such a thing about male politicans saying bad things about women, Gammage may be digging nails in his own coffin among over-chivalrous voters. Of course, if I were campaigning, I’d probably be calling Carole Strayhorn something much worse.
All that aside, remember Clayton Williams, aka “Rape is like a fog…as long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it,” wasn’t well received when he refused to shake Ann Richards’ hand.
Anyway, what the hell are we doing playing dueling swords with Carole Strayhorn? She’s not even on the ballot yet. I mean, it’s fun, but…isn’t there a primary in like…oh…30-something days???



































I absolutely refuse to refer to Carole without using all of her names. It’s waaaaaay too much fun, I think. How ’bout yew?
I always refer to her as “Carol Four Names.” It always gets a laugh.
