I caught up with Kay Bailey-Hutchison in the Senate hallway. She’s the Texas Senator running a primary challenge against Republican Texas Governor, Rick Perry. A few weeks ago, a Texas newspaper – The Austin American-Statesman discovered that KBH’s campaign website had embedded some pretty interesting search terms in its meta-data.
Most commercial and campaign websites include an invisible list of search terms in the code used to display the page. Used responsibly, the terms are useful to search engines because they help narrow and focus results. Used another way, you end up with results like these.
Anyway, KBH’s website embedded the term “rick perry gay.”
The campaign claimed it was all a big mistake caused by a computer glitch. I thought it would be interesting to ask the Senator if the “issue” will be revisited.

Kay caught on tape in Washington....
Pressed about her dirty tricks in her race against Rick...
Kay's campaign is pretty ugly, but she mostly gets off the hook from the media...
Bloggers are a lot more hard on Kay, both conservative and liberal...
It was a liberal blogger who filmed this, and he blogged in on his own website (link).
If you could ask Kay one question, what would you ask her? I would probably ask her about missing votes... one of my big pet peeves...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
