Saying Bye-Bye to Beto
14th November 2022
Bye-bye, Beto. Well, the self-serving political show-off known to Karl Rove in his Wall Street Journal commentaries as Robert Francis O’Rourke, of El Paso, Texas (“Roberto” in Español = “Beto”). Texans rejected his latest overtures and entreaties, re-electing Republican Governor Greg Abbott by an 11 percent margin on November 8. The margin ought to have been larger, given Beto’s lack of serviceable credentials, and it would have been, save for all the outside money and media fawning that came Beto’s way.
I doubt that we’ve seen the last of Beto. This is the only paid gig he’s likely to get. It’s not as if he has any real-world job skills. God forbid he should have to work for a living.
