October 12, 200421 yr Speaking of redistricting, here's what happens when two long time Texas lawmakers get tossed into the same ring . . . Old school days long gone, but not forgotten: Congressman's streaking stunt exposed DALLAS The gloves have come off in a tight election race between two Texas congressmen -- and every other article of clothing appears to be fair game as well. Democrats are circulating old newspaper clippings of a 1974 college streaking stunt staged by hundreds of students at what was then called Southwest Texas State University. One of the participants was an 18-year-old freshman named Pete Sessions -- who grew up to become a conservative Republican congressman. A Sessions spokesman says the congressman's "old school days are long gone" and that he recognizes the streaking stunt was "an immature action." But the campaign of Democrat Representative Martin Frost is holding his rival's bare body to the fire, saying he "exposed himself to children and strangers." The two incumbents are battling each other in a new Republican-leaning district in the Dallas area. Frost, Texas' senior congressman, had his district redrawn by Republicans last year.

October 12, 200421 yr Author Frost was one of the congressman targeted by the REPs in the 2nd redistricting power grab. It was the most partisen event I have ever witnessed.
October 13, 200421 yr Regardless of who is a Dem and who is a Rep, this is a non-issue and should not be brought into the fray. Ri-f***ing-diculous. A streaking gag is a lot less serious than testifying before congress that your brothers in arms are all war criminals.
