The rumour has become fact - there's a picture that shows Beto O'Rourke dancing and dropping down and then grabbing a microphone. Was he drunk? That's still a rumor because you can't discern that from the footage provided.
Here's the link - http://youtu.be/4Nz2k6J7J-4.
Said to be there with O'Rourke that night was Reps Ortega and Byrd along with County Judge Veronica Escobar.
Where did this study home? The Tap, which is a moralcrime in-of-itselfconsidering the office is so disgustingly awful that you should doubt the opinion of anyone who would set foot in the godforsaken excuse for a bar in the 1st place. The only people who go to The Tap are true alcoholics and rich Westsiders who believe it is ironical that they imbibe in a dive bar. You can put Rosa's Cantina in this class too. Rich white people do some weird things - dive bar patronage is only the newest, most vexatious thing they're doing right now. And we inquire why poor minorities abhor rich white people...
Anywho...
What does the video really show? Bad dancing, bad camera skills andpossibly bad Karaoke This not the Zapruder film as it was touted to be by some folks out there. It's just a guy celebrating his final day as City Representative with his fellow Shapleigh Campers. Here's a number of things this video doesn't indicate these politicians doing:
1. taking a bribe
2. failing to pay their taxes
3. violating the open meetings act
4. being friends with Larry Medina
5. burning witches at the stake
6. talking around the author of Chico's Tacos cheese
7. calling someone a lesbian
8. painting their toenails on their office desk during business hours
9. killing their girlfriend's dog
10. widening Transmountain
11. securing employment for their kids through companies who do business with your committee
12. getting robbed after showing up for a sex fest in a central motel and wait to visit the cops for a day
13. buying land in an arena where your vote can immediately increase its value
14. intimidating a Set K clerk who won't sell you alcohol after hours
What I'm saying is - this is pretty innocuous and Congressman Reyes' crew would be fools to try and lead this off as some sort of smoking gun in an indictment of Beto O'Rourke's character. God rest his soul, but Beto' father wasn't exactly known as a teetotaler himself and managed to get elected a few times.
If you put this on TV, people are leaving to be rather bewildered as to what they are looking atin the foremost place. Couple that with the fact that you don't possess a light image of Beto, you've got a born loser of a gotcha video. O'Rourke could plausibly deny that he's still in the picture if he wanted.
The whole thing makes for a faint whisper campaign among the usual suspects who already live who they are aligning themselves with in theupcoming primary. You can bet things will get vicious as the campaigns progress.
I bet nobody is talk about this video next week. Hell, nobody is talk about it right now!
And if you were thinking Norma Chavez's fingerprints are all over this - you're wrong. She's angry and she's willing to drag out all the chicago to go after O'Rourke, but she wasn't there that night and she wouldn't give up a false email address and diffuse the television to local bloggers. Norma just isn't that sort of woman at all. She's changed - I can find it in my heart.
So, say hi to this scandal and goodbye because it's already gone.
