Do you remember our video clip

Do you remember our video clip of the Cowardly Madla?

Well the San Antonio Express News has picked up on that story...

State Sen. Frank Madla says he's the victim of dirty politics after a six-second video clip shot at a recent fundraiser made its way onto several political blogs last week.

The video shows the three-term senator standing with family, wagging a finger and earnestly telling a group behind the camera: "When I get to the state Capitol, I lock the Democratic Party in my trunk."

Madla said he was addressing supporters at a Jan. 10 fundraiser where Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a Republican, was a featured guest.

To that, Carlos Uresti responded...

"If (Gov. Rick) Perry said, 'I lock the Republican Party in the trunk of my car,' he wouldn't be re-elected by the Republican Party," Uresti said.

Madla has his defenders.

Several Democratic heavyweights turned out Monday to vouch for his bona fides, endorsing him at a media conference at the Menger Hotel. They included former Mayor Henry Cisneros, County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson, City Councilman Richard Perez, Constable Ruben Tejeda and Madla's Senate colleague, Leticia Van de Putte.

"I need Frank Madla in that Democratic caucus," said Van de Putte, head of the party's Senate caucus. "He carries (in) him the heart of a Democrat."

Yes, Sen. Madla has a heart of a Democrat.  We just wonder who he took it from.
