Did America Go Nuts While I Was Away, Part Deux

The ever-amazing Kos has the scoop:

So while Texas Democrats were camped out in New Mexico, what were their Republican counterparts doing back in Austin? Because they sure as hell weren't working on a redistricting map.

Today is the drop-dead deadline for a new map, or else Texas would have to postpone the state's primaries. Yet the GOP still has no map.

Amazing. Simply amazing. The Texas GOP pillories the Dems for being obstructionist -- then, after having several months to get their act together...they don't.

Of course, this could be an evil plot to deny Texas its place in the national primaries:

Gov. Rick Perry has said the Legislature must give him a map sometime Monday to avoid postponing the state's primaries. But state lawmakers were bumping up against internal legislative deadlines for producing a compromise over the weekend.

...

Staples agreed: "If a deal is not done by midnight (Saturday), it is almost inevitable that the primary election date will have to be moved."

Or, you know, they could stop trying to gerrymander the Texas district maps.

Amazing.
