Loopy Lupe Valdez gets JWP woodshed spanking

Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price has written a blank check of political support for fellow Democrat, Sheriff Lupe Valdez (and why do we elect sheriffs rather than appoint them?) for the past three-plus years.

But, inviting Discovery Channel to film the magical improvements at Lew Sterrett without a tip-off to him, at the minimum, was too much.

Fortunately, it was just before a long holiday weekend, giving both Loopy Lupe and Just Wanna Play a chance to hash this out, plot damage control, etc.

That said, County Judge Jim Foster, also a Dem, thinks Valdez just needed to notify commissioners, not get formal permission.

But, JWP likes to be stroked. And, just asking ain’t stroking.

As a point of snark, somebody started a MySpace page for Lew Sterrett.
